Het Huis Met De Kogel Uit 1557
There was heavy fighting in Alkmaar during the Spanish occupation. The house with the bullet is actually a symbol of this battle. They say that when the Spaniards shot a bullet through this house, a table, a chair and a spinning wheel were immediately destroyed. But there was nothing wrong with the 7 residents!

We walk past the narrowest house in Alkmaar. This was a tax trick, because you paid tax on the width of your house.
