Enkhuizen - Dromedaris Tower

The landward side of the harbor is dominated by the Dromedaris Tower, a relic of the town's fortifications (1540). The tower, which was heightened in 1649, has a carillon by the Hemony brothers which ranks among the finest in the Netherlands. From the tower (round, with the addition of a gatehouse) there is a fine view of the harbor quarter. It served at one time as a prison, and some of the cells can still be seen.
