Bergen

Among the towns of North Holland, Bergen stands out for its long association with Dutch artists and its position beside the North Sea dune belt. The centre gathers around the Ruïnekerk, a medieval church whose name recalls damage sustained during the Eighty Years’ War. In the early 20th century, the Bergen School brought together painters known for powerful, dark-toned work; Museum Kranenburgh continues that artistic connection. To the west, the dunes of the Noordhollands Duinreservaat lead toward the North Sea, while nearby Schoorl is known for some of the country’s highest dunes.
