Muizenfort

Highlight • Historical Site

The "Muizenfort" was built between 1874-1877 as part of the New Dutch Waterline (which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site). It was also part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam (also a UNESCO World Heritage Site).

The fort was mobilized during both 1914-1918 and in 1940. Before World War II, a casemate and group shelter were built on the fort.

Today the fort is a museum: the Muider Muizenfort Museum.

Saint Nicholas Church, Muiden

Highlight • Religious Site

The Grote Kerk (also called Sint Nicolaaskerk) is a church located on Kerkstraat 1 in Muiden in North Holland. The church is a late Gothic pseudo basilica from the beginning of the 15th century, the tower of which dates from the 12th century. The tower is 28 meters high and built of tuff in a late Romanesque style. The tower also served as a lookout tower and lighthouse. The Gothic building is used by the local Protestant municipality.

The clock rings in the tower every evening at 9 p.m. this custom dates back to the days when Muiden had city gates. The clock was sounding before the gates closed, as a sign for the residents to go home for dinner. In many cases people ate porridge in the evening at that time, hence the name papklok.
