Den Burg is a town in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Texel on the island of the same name, and lies about 12 km north of Den Helder.

Overview

Located in the middle of the island, Den Burg is the largest town of Texel. It features a historic centre and also the town hall. Outdoor markets are held each week in the main square. Nevertheless, Den Burg is the island's least tourist settlement.

The town was first mentioned between 918 and 948 as Osterburghem, and means "castle" which refers to a castle built to defend against the Vikings.[3]

Notable sites

The Dutch Reformed church is a three aisled basilica-like church with 11th century elements. The tower dates from the mid 15th century. After a lightning strike in 1537, it was enlarged. [4] The Oudheidkamer was built in 1599 as guest house and nowadays contains a museum.[5]

A monument to the constructed language, Esperanto, is on the corner of Kogerstraat and De Zes. It was constructed in 1935 when Esperanto was widely spoken throughout the island.[6]
