The 5 Best Military Museums in North Holland Province, The Netherlands

November 12, 2021 Diedre Savory

Mostly jutting northward from its largest city of Amsterdam and its capital of Haarlem, the Noord-Holland region has much more to offer beyond those two wonderful cities. At Muiden is the magnificent Muiderslot Castle, as if it stepped out of a fairy tale. Showing more wear but no less interesting is Brederode Castle at Santpoort. At Zaanstad is Zaanse Schans, one of Holland’s top tourist destinations and a family-friendly open air museum of windmills, traditional buildings, crafts and shops.

Really good museum. Easy to park, lots to see and interactive elements for the children. Submarine was staffed by friendly and very knowledgeable old sailors. The 1860s Ramship must be unique in the world.
