In 1254 Alkmaar was granted city charter by the Dutch Earl Wilhelm II. But as early as the 11th century, a settlement of traders and peasants was built around a church that belonged to the parish of Heiloo.
The city became the symbol of the Dutch freedom struggle in 1573 and received its motto: "The Victorious", which also appears as a symbol of arms. When, in the 80 years of war, the Spaniards had taken Haarlem after a difficult struggle, they advanced to Alkmaar and besieged the city.

The besiegers had to give up tactical flooding of the surrounding polders on October 8, 1573. Similar to Leiden this day is still celebrated every year.

Alkmaar is known as the cheese city of the Netherlands, but that title only covers part of what the charming city in the province of North Holland has to offer. In Alkmaar you will also find a wonderful, historic center with numerous monuments, nice shopping streets and countless cozy terrace cafés, pubs and restaurants in all price ranges.
