The railway line from Medemblik to Hoorn, opened in 1887, is unique because it has been preserved in its original state, complete with structures such as bridges and station buildings. Only a few stations have disappeared over time; of the ten in total, eight still exist.

Molen De Herder in Medemblik, in the Kop van Noord-Holland, is a beautifully restored smock mill that still grinds grain and represents a unique piece of Dutch heritage.

A beautiful little town with a great atmosphere located on the Ijsselmeer. A trip here is worthwhile. The small castle is beautiful to look at and if you like, you can visit it or take a ride on the historic museum train that connects Hoorn with Medemblik.
