For 200 years the Boom family has been the specialist for Dutch household items including traditional wooden clogs, brushes and ropes in Alkmaar, the Netherlands. The museum like shop, where the interior has remained unchanged since 1942, is situated in the old historic quarter of Alkmaar. Both the inside and outside of the shop are national heritage. It presents timeless Dutch products and good old-fashioned personal service with the shop being ran by the Boom family themselves. No surprise, tourist & locals love the shop!

This is a hidden gem amongst canal, boat rides and Cheese Museum. Very Antique (500 years plus) church. Excellent Architecture, with Gothic Arches and Stained glass windows. Still with regular masses at specific times (English and Dutch) for local and visiting Christians. Many tourists do not know it and stop with Kass Museum and this is right beneath.
4. Korenmolen 't Roode Hert

Reviewed By DrValliappan - Coimbatore, India
It must date back to 1800s as the Architecture is unique and combines both Dutch (City Hall) combined with Gothic arches and towers (as in Churches). Could not go in due to renovation work, but can go around to appreciate the period of the building and it’s intricate components.
