ZuidermeerZuidermeer is a small village in the municipality of Koggenland that has a genuinely rural appearance. The village derived its name from the polder south of the Baarsdorpermeer and the Noordermeer. These are just a few of the several old polders between Heerhugowaard and Hoorn that are known for their green, watery and quiet character. A very old farmhouse from the 16th century is located in Zuidermeer; it used to house a Latin school and a covert Catholic church in the period from 1640 to 1830. |
