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.
Monnickendam is known for its fish smokehouses, especially for its smoked eels and herring. A visit to one of the local smokehouses is a unique opportunity to see the traditional smoking process and, of course, taste these delicious specialities on the spot.
This tower is one of the city's most recognisable symbols. The carillon installed on it is considered one of the oldest in the Netherlands and still delights residents with its melodious sounds every quarter-hour.
