De Paltrok Blok F – Bouwnummer F.4.5

Zaandam, the only city in the municipality of Zaanstad, was always famous for its beautiful wooden Zaanse houses and many windmills. Or because of the seventeenth-century Czaar Peter house. But the city gained new fame in the early 21st century, thanks to the high-profile metamorphosis of the city center. Photos of the new city hall, the stacked cottages hotel and the shopping canal, inspired by traditional Zaanse timber construction, are going around the world. In addition to plenty of history, you'll also find plenty of new construction in Zaandam.
