De route, stop voor stop

  1. Torenburg

    A street called Torenburg, and no tower at all standing at the end of it — just a name doing the work the stone no longer…

  2. Victoriepark

    In 1573, someone made a decision that no ledger fully credits to one name: the polders around this city were deliberately drowned, sluice by sluice, to stop a Spanish army dead in the…

  3. Sint Laurentiuskerk

    Nobody agrees on the number. Some parish accounts from the Reformation years speak of a handful of Franciscans driven out or worse; others blur it into rumor, the kind of figure that grows with every retelling until it…

  4. Vismarkt

    A fishwife — we don't know her name, only her trade — stood here before dawn with a basket of herring, deciding how to price a catch that had to sell before noon or rot in the…

  5. Achtermeer

    In 1573, the men who sat behind these walls signed the order that let the water in — not the prince, not a general, but the burgomasters of Alkmaar, weighing ruined harvests against a ruined…

  9. Hof van Sonoy

    "Pull down the houses outside the wall — we need the ground clear." That was the order, more or less, when Alkmaar's defenders decided the city's edges had to disappear before the Spanish could use…

  10. Kaasmarkt

    Four centuries, give or take, and yet the porters sliding past you in white with their colored hats have been doing this job for perhaps two generations of actual work and several decades of pure…

  11. Ringersbrug

    No plaque marks this crossing. No gate, no stone lion, nothing to tell you that the water sliding under your feet here is the same water that once drowned an…
