Zijper Museum

The fascinating history and development of the Zijpe polder are explained here on the basis of old texts and historical maps, which were dug up in 1597. The Zijpe lies between the West Frisian Omringdijk near Schagen and the coastal strip from Petten to beyond Callantsoog. This museum also enjoys national fame through the possession of the Niestadt photo collection, which presents a unique regional image over the period 1940-1980 with thousands of photos and portrait photos.
