Binnenhaven (main harbor)
The main harbor of Hoorn is the ‘binnenhaven’, which holds a very important place in the city’s history. As a key destination in the Dutch Golden Age, the ‘binnenhaven’ was the center of trade. With the arrival of large ships such as the ‘Bontekoe’, it became an important place for business. The harbor holds some of the most beautiful warehouses in traditional style with impressive facades.
