Edam Noord-Holland

Holiday homes around Edam	Edam is a city in the Dutch province of Noord-Holland. The city of Edam was founded around a dam crossing the river E or IJe close by the Zuiderzee (now known as the IJsselmeer). Edam grew as a trade town, the inhabitants of the town levying a toll when goods were loaded onto other vessels at the dam. Shipbuilding and fishing brought Edam further wealth, while the cheese market was the main boost of the economy in the 16th century when Emperor Charles V gave Edam the right to have a market every week. The cheese was brought to the market by local farmers with little boats, where it was lifted out, carried to the market by cheese carriers and shown to the merchants. After being tested for their quality the price was settled by propose and denial until there was an agreement about the price. Then the cheese was brought to a warehouse where it was kept until the quality was at its best. Since 1989, the cheese market in Edam has been revived as a re-enactment for tourists. It is held each July and August on each Wednesday from 10:30 to 12:30. The old city centre of Edam within the borders of the old city walls is nowadays protected by the government, as a number of notable buildings survive in good condition including Grote Kerk or St. Nicholaaskerk, the town hall and the Edam Museum.
