The map
Medemblik lies on the western shore of the IJsselmeer in North Holland and is one of the oldest towns in West Friesland. The historic centre sits right at the water's edge, arranged around its harbours, while the wider municipality spreads over flat polder land with villages, dikes and long straight drainage canals.
A Medemblik map poster shows the town's close ties to the water. Harbour basins cut into the old centre, a long dike follows the shoreline, and the streets of the town run parallel to the quays. Beyond them the polders are divided by ruler-straight roads and ditches, the geometry of land reclaimed and managed over centuries.
At the harbour stands Radboud Castle, a medieval fortress built in the thirteenth century that still guards the entrance to the port. Medemblik is also the end point of the historic steam tram line from Hoorn, and its waters host sailing events. In black and white, the mix of old harbour and modern polder makes a very Dutch composition.

The medieval castle stands beside the harbour entrance, a small but clear landmark at the meeting point of the town and the lake.
Straight roads, dikes and drainage ditches divide the surrounding land into long rectangles, an unmistakable pattern of reclaimed Dutch countryside.
