Windmills still are the stereotypical essence of Holland. De Herder (the Shepard) was rebuild in 1989, but there has been a windmill around here since at least 1560. It is in working order (grain) and is now operated by volunteers.  Do note the cyclist on the bike path. Also in the top 10 of 'what is Holland'.
Not your average gable stone..These four orphans are from the local orphanage, which was founded in 1575 (the gate itself is from 1785) and closed down in 1919.  One can discover these stones and statues throughout Holland, mostly in older towns. In the pre-zipe code era, naming buildings was not just for inns (the golden lion...), but also for normal houses. You can still find them in rural areas. They would certainly become modern suburbia as well.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gable_stone https://www.flickr.com/photos/vvag/

Great location in center of Alkmaar! Shops & restaurants right outside the door. The hotel is beautiful and our room was great. The lofted room would not work well for someone with mobility challenges but worked well for us. Very responsive communication from the hotel! Would happily stay there ...

Cities near Medemblik

Seemingly random along the Dutch dikes you will find structures like this, which hide a pumping station. Named after Cornelis Lely, one of many who changed the Zuiderzee into the IJsselmeer.  Many buildings are plain ugly by all possible definitions, this one is a nice exception. Style: New pragmatism. They are even more impressive when they engines are running. - No Holland without them! #greatdesign
