Enkhuizen buss (Enkhuizer buis)

Post by Anatol » Tue Nov 18, 2025 1:21 pm

Enkhuizen, like Hoorn and Amsterdam, was one of the harbour-towns of the VOC, from where overseas trade with the East Indies was conducted. It received city rights in 1356.
A historic city and municipality in the Netherlands. Located in the region of West Friesland in the province of North Holland, the city developed as an important fishing and trading port during the Middle Ages and the Dutch Golden Age, when it was one of the wealthiest and most influential cities in the country.
In the mid-17th century, Enkhuizen was at the peak of its power and was one of the most important harbour cities in the Netherlands. However, due to a variety of reasons, notably the silting up of the harbours, Enkhuizen lost its position to Amsterdam.
Today, the town is known for its well-preserved historic centre, maritime heritage, and cultural attractions.
The «Enkhuizen bus» is a local fishing vessel with design features characteristic of the area.
