De Stolpen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

De Stolpen (sometimes just "Stolpen"[1]) is a hamlet in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is part of the municipality Zijpe, and is located about 3 km northwest of the village of Schagerbrug[2].

In 2005, the municipal council of Zijpe decided that the N9 road had to be moved; as a consequence, all of the houses in De Stolpen would have to be demolished. The national government changed this decision in December 2006, which saved the hamlet.
