Monnickendam

The historic town of Monnickendam is located on the Markermeer. Lovers of old Dutch cities and water sports will feel right at home in Monnickendam. Monnickendam received city rights in 1355. This was the start of the expansion of the city. Unfortunately, no fourteenth-century illustrations have survived. The fact that Monnickendam was granted city rights, however, indicates that the population was quite large and that Monnickendam was of economic importance.
