Of these hamlets, only Bakkum, located to the north, survived. It is connected to Castricum, and has since grown into a proper town.

Castricum was a battleground of the W:War of the Second Coalition|War of the Second Coalition, between 1798 and 1802, having the British and Russians one the one, and the Dutch and French on the other side of town. The Battle of Castricum took place on October 6th, 1799, which stopped the British and Russian troops from progressing further into Dutch land.
