Useful information

Description

In the centre of Edam, the Damplein (main square) has been raised to span the Voorhaven canal to allow boats to pass. The 18C town hall (Stadhuis) is crowned by a belfry and hosts temporary exhibitions from the museum next door, the Edams Museum. The latter, occupying a pretty house (c. 1530), is home to a floating cellar, which is extremely rare in the Netherlands. Its display of exhibits highlights the life of wealthy merchants in centuries past.
