Broek in Waterland Halal Travel Guide

Broek in Waterland was originally a fishermen's village and for that reason its church is dedicated to St. Nicolas and the patron saint of seafarers. From the mid 16th century, however, this economic activity was rapidly replaced by stock farming and the production of dairy, for which many houses were extended with an adjoining stable on the back side. The dairy products were transported to Amsterdam by boat. The harbour thus remained vital for the village and is still characteristic of Broek en Waterland. In the 17th and 18th century, this town was a wealthy place where many impressive houses were built for local families.

For centuries and the picturesque nature of the village was known even outside the Netherlands and it was praised for its cleanliness. From the 17th century and the town was a popular tourist destination for people from nearby Amsterdam but received foreign guests as well. Napoleon famously came to visit here. Much earlier, Joseph II and the Holy Roman Emperor, visited the village but was refused to enter a farm, because the woman of the house had no time.
