The Westfriese Omringdijk surrounds Westfriesland, from Alkmaar past Schagen and Kolhorn, Medemblik, Enkhuizen and Hoorn and then back to Alkmaar. More than 1,200 years ago, West Friesland was still a peat swamp above sea level. The early pioneers marked plots of land and dug ditches around them. That was to drain the excess water. They also built dikes and quays. All these dikes, one after the other, already formed a whole around 1250: the 150 kilometer long West Frisian Omringdijk.

The current Reformed or Old Ursulakerk in Warmenhuizen is a late medieval pseudo-basilica, which was initiated after its completion in 1508. Her predecessor was a Romanian crucifix, whose foundation of the tower and the west façade remained. This stone predecessor was built in the 12th century at the present church stage. Many farms have been placed on terriers because of the sea level rise. The quarry village of Warmenhuizen became a flatfield settlement with dispersed farms, more a more linear settlement on terpwalls.
