In 2009 Aric and I\u00a0\u00a0had visited the famous cheese market in Alkmaar, no time to explore the town. Recently my brother Arie has moved to Alkmaar and Ineke and he had invited me to visit them. We had an interesting walk in the historical center of the town.\u00a0Alkmaar has a rich history.\u00a0During the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eighty_Years%27_War\">Dutch war of

\/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>In many historical towns in the Netherlands you can still find so-called <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hofje\">Hofjes<\/a>\u00a0, courtyards with almshouses. Financed and built by rich merchants for (generally) poor people. With rules and regulations. The Wildemanshofje has 24 houses and is\u00a0only for ladies (even now) . The Hofje van Splinter (1648) is a hidden gem, with only 8 (now 7) houses. The Hof van Sonoy is bigger and is now a restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>I did not know that Alkmaar has many\u00a0Jugendstil (Art Deco) houses. Next time I must find more, as it is one my favourite architectural styles.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-3 .gallery-item
