VOLLENDAM

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 195 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VOLLENDAM , a small fishing
village
  of Holland in the province of
North
  Holland, adjoining
Edam
  on the shores of the Zuider Zee. It is remarkable for the quaintness of the buildings and the picturesque costume of the villagers, who are of a singularly dark and robust type. Many artists have been attracted to settle here. Vollendam has its origin in the building of the
great
  sea-dam for the new waterway to
Edam
  in the
middle
  of the 14th
century
 . On the seaward side of the
dike
  are some houses built on piles in the
style
  of lake dwellings.
