Description
The village of Marken, famous for its traditional wooden-paneled houses on stilts and its characteristic drawbridges, is a magical place. The tiny village on stilts and mounds was built in the 17th century when the peninsula was still an island in the Zuiderzee, before that sea was turned into a freshwater lake by the construction of the Afsluitdijk causeway. Since 1957, Marken is a peninsula connected to the mainland by a dike. Discover the small streets lined by wooden houses with orange tiled roofs, explore the old fishing harbor and walk around the island to the beautiful red-and-white lighthouse Paard of Marken. There is also a clog factory where you can see how clogs are made, and a museum about the traditions of Marken.
