Visbanken, Historic fish market and Rijksmonument in Alkmaar, Netherlands.
The Visbanken fish market features traditional wooden stalls along the Verdronkenoord canal where vendors display fresh seafood products throughout the week.
Since the 16th century, this marketplace has maintained its position as a central trading hub for fish merchants and local fishermen in North Holland.
Local fish vendors continue the tradition of selling traditional Dutch herring and regional seafood specialties according to time-honored preparation methods.
The fish market operates between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM from Tuesday through Saturday, with the largest selection of fresh catches available in morning hours.
The Visbanken structure received official recognition as Rijksmonument number 7324, marking its status as a protected national heritage site in 1969.
