A TANGIBLE CONNECTION
TO THE PAST

The bend in the Zaan River near Wormer and Wormerveer is considered the most beautiful stretch of the Zaan. This is not so much due to the water itself, but rather to the imposing warehouses
and factories that line the banks. 

The restored industrial heritage bears names reminiscent of the East Indies. Each monument tells its own story about the glorious past of the Zaan region.
