Netherlands Monnickendam
Monnickendam is a Town in the Dutch province of North Holland. It received city rights in 1355 and was damaged by the fires of 1500 and 1513. The town was founded by monks, the name Monnickendam translates as 'Monk's dam'. Although it is a small fishing village today, it was an important port in earlier centuries. It possesses a seventeenth-century weigh house, once used by merchants and port officials, and a bell tower that dates from 1591. The fourteenth century church of St. Nicholas, renovated in 1602, is particularly notable. The synagogue was built in 1894. Jewish families named Monnikendam trace their roots to this town.
