Windmills still are the stereotypical essence of Holland. De Herder (the Shepard) was rebuild in 1989, but there has been a windmill around here since at least 1560. It is in working order (grain) and is now operated by volunteers.  Do note the cyclist on the bike path. Also in the top 10 of 'what is Holland'.
Not your average gable stone..These four orphans are from the local orphanage, which was founded in 1575 (the gate itself is from 1785) and closed down in 1919.  One can discover these stones and statues throughout Holland, mostly in older towns. In the pre-zipe code era, naming buildings was not just for inns (the golden lion...), but also for normal houses. You can still find them in rural areas. They would certainly become modern suburbia as well.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gable_stone https://www.flickr.com/photos/vvag/

8.2/10 Very Good! (166 reviews)
The staff and the restaurant are great. The ambience is always good and the quirkiness of the former prison is fun to stay in. On the negative side, the room has not a single hook or hanger for a towel, the towels are too small and the toilet paper seems like genuine prison standard

Great location in center of Alkmaar! Shops & restaurants right outside the door. The hotel is beautiful and our room was great.
