Schermerhorn (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈsxɛrmərˌɦɔrn]) is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Alkmaar, and lies about 9 km south of Heerhugowaard.

History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned in the 14th century as Den Horn, and means "corner (of the dike) in the Schermer (polder)".[3] Schermerhorn developed in the 13th century on the northern corner of the dike surrounding the former island Schermereiland [nl]. In 1635, it was connected to the main land and Alkmaar.[4]

The Dutch Reformed church is a three aisled basilica-like church with a slender tower and needle spire. The church was built between 1634 and 1635.[4] There are six polder mills and a wind mill museum in mill D in Schermerhorn. The museum has a glass floor in order to demonstrate the inner workings of a polder mill. In 1928, the pumping station Wilhelmina was built.[5]

Schermerhorn was home to 643 people in 1840.[5] It was a separate municipality until 1970, when it was merged with Schermer.[6] In 2015, it became part of the municipality of Alkmaar.[5]
