Huizen

Huizen is best known within North Holland for its former Zuiderzee fishing harbour and maritime heritage. On the southern shore of the Gooimeer, the town faces one of the Netherlands’ broad border lakes, while its older centre recalls the era when local boats worked the open Zuiderzee. The harbour remains a focal point, with waterside walks and vessels linking Huizen to its seafaring past. Huizen’s traditional costume, once worn locally, remains an important marker of Gooi identity, and the Huizer Museum explores the history of this fishing community. Today, Huizen is a residential town with direct access to the water and the wooded Gooi region. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Huizen and North Holland.
