Photography -Enkhuizen - Holland: the sea wall

This is one of the harbours, most were closed over time after the VOC but we still have 5 or 6 ancient designs.

This is the jachthaven, it's next to the buitenmuseum and close to town.

This is a bit of the buitenmuseum and a bit of the sea wall, the sky is doing very well today.

A old wooden house in the buitenmuseum.

The sea wall is very long.

This is the harbor next to the buitenmuseum, it's build outside town in the water.

Here you can see the buitenmuseum is close to the harbor.

This is inside the binnenmuseums walls.

the museum is in a really old building.

Here is were you get in, you can almost see the boats over the wall in the gate.

This is the front of the Buitenmuseum.

They just don't build houses like they use to.

This is the entrance of the jachthaven, they had to make a opening in the sea wall.

The Wilhelmina plantsoen was opend by and named after queen Wilhelmina in 1936. Plantsoen is Dutch for park.

The Venedie has several restaurants with terrace.

In the winter this area is used for ice skating.

The Kaasmarkt offers a few bars and discos.

To protect the city against the often violent sea and enemy invasion two walls were built in the 16th and 17th century. Called "The Sea wall" and "the Vesting wall".

The Enkhuizerzand is the beach in Enkhuizen, a nice view on the boats and the IJsselmeer.

The dijk is best described as the promenade of Enkhuizen.

The Zuiderhavendijk is one of the first harbours in the Netherlands. Most of Amsterdam was based on this design.
