In the heart of North Holland lies Castricum. It’s a town whispered to have been inhabited since Roman times. Castricum officially appeared in records during the 10th century. Castricum wasn’t always one unified town. It was initially a collection of smaller villages. These villages eventually merged into the Castricum we know today. Castricum sits nestled between stunning beaches and captivating dunes. These natural wonders draw visitors year-round. Beyond the town of Castricum itself, the municipality encompasses two other notable villages: Akersloot and Limmen. In 1799, the dunes near Castricum witnessed a fierce battle. French occupiers clashed with an invading Anglo-Russian force. The French ultimately triumphed, forcing the invaders to retreat. Today, Castricum is a thriving municipality. It boasts a population of around 35,000. Visitors arriving by train will find Castricum station conveniently connected to major cities. Amsterdam, Alkmaar, and Den Helder are all easily accessible. For those seeking the seaside charm, bus 868 provides transport from the station to the beach.
