3Broek in Waterland
Our final stop is the beautiful and well-preserved village of Broek in Waterland. The village is famous for its collection of traditional, perfectly maintained 17th and 18th-century wooden houses, often painted in soft pastel colors. This historical look previously earned it the nickname ‘the cleanest village in Holland.’ Situated amidst the peat meadows and surrounded by water, the village offers picturesque views where many houses sit directly on the water, reflecting the authentic charm of the Waterland region. During the Dutch Golden Age, it served as a popular country retreat for wealthy Amsterdammers, which accounts for its unique, preserved character today.
