Van Ewijcksluis
Van Ewijcksluis
Van Ewijcksluis is a small village and access point situated along the Van Ewijcksvaart canal in the Anna Paulowna polder, in the Noord-Holland province of the Netherlands.
The settlement takes its name from the historic lock (sluis) built in 1846 and named after Daniël van Ewijck, the first royal governor of Noord-Holland, who championed the polder's reclamation. The lock once connected the polder directly to the Zuiderzee.
The village grew up around the lock as a community of polderworkers and fishermen, and once supported a smithy, a small shipyard, a bakery, and a café.
Today Van Ewijcksluis remains a quiet settlement of roughly 90 houses and houseboats, with a marina, a café-restaurant, and access to surrounding waters popular for fishing.
It serves as a starting point for walking routes within the Noord-Holland walking network, with the Amstelmeer and Waddenzee both close by.
