Drechterland

Drechterland has functioned as a rural municipality in North Holland since 1979. On the eastern side of the West-Friesland region, its villages occupy low polders between the Markermeer and the historic Westfriese Omringdijk, a ring dike that has long protected this reclaimed land from water. Hoogkarspel is the municipal seat, while Andijk, Venhuizen, Westwoud and Oosterblokker retain distinct village centres amid fields, drainage canals and dike roads. The municipality reached its current form through mergers with Venhuizen in 2006 and Andijk in 2011.
