Enkhuizen Heritage Walk: Amber City, Self-Guided App Tour

Enkhuizen once rivalled Amsterdam: a VOC chamber city with a world-class fleet, the herring trade that funded everything, and the oldest stock certificate on earth issued right here on the harbour. Then its harbour silted up, trade moved north, and the city did something remarkable, it stood still. Ten stops through an intact Golden Age centre where more than 360 national heritage buildings still line streets that have barely changed in three centuries, and where the greatest open-air museum in the country was built from what the city refused to let go.
