Seaside resort with a special past
Bakkum aan Zee is a typical North Holland seaside resort with a special history. Until 1812 Bakkum was an independent municipality. Since that year it officially falls under the municipality of Castricum. In 1978 neither Bakkum nor Bakkum aan Zee were assigned their own postal code. Bakkum therefore does not have its own postal addresses or place name signs.
Nevertheless, the place name Bakkum will ring a bell with many. Not surprising, because early in the 20th century Bakkum aan Zee became a popular holiday destination because of its location by the sea, dune areas and wooded surroundings. Especially Amsterdammers came and still like to come. So much so that Bakkum aan Zee is also known as ‘Little Mokum’ or ‘Amsterdam aan Zee’.
During the Second World War, the Bakkum dune areas also played a role as ‘Stützpunktgruppe’. An important support point within the German coastal defenses. In total, about 104 bunkers have been built here. After the war, many of these bunkers were demolished, but a number are still present (under the dunes). It should be clear that Bakkum has a special past!
