There was heavy fighting in Alkmaar during the Spanish occupation. The house with the bullet is actually a symbol of this battle. They say that when the Spaniards shot a bullet through this house, a table, a chair and a spinning wheel were immediately destroyed. But there was nothing wrong with the 7 residents!
