Where to stay in Huiswaard
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Huiswaard is an easy base. The Lukaskerk and the Beatles Museum are both inside the district, which is more than Overdie, the other district on Alkmaar's roll, can offer, and that makes a night here a genuine choice rather than a fallback. Alkmaar still holds more rooms.
Anyone drawn to the Kanaaldijk at Koedijk, or to the protected house by the mill, will find Huiswaard the closer of the two bases in Provincie Noord-Holland.

About Huiswaard
What are the main landmarks in Huiswaard?
Four entries, and they do not match. The Lukaskerk supplies the conventional one, a church on the district's own ground, while the Beatles Museum sits at the far end of the same short register and gives the quarter its most unexpected filing. Two addresses complete it.
Kanaaldijk 288 at Koedijk is one, and the other carries the descriptive Dutch name Langgerekte woning onder zadeldak bij de molen, a protected house recorded by its roof and its mill.
What is the history of Huiswaard?
The register never fixed a year for Huiswaard. Huiswaard's dating has to come from its buildings, and the entry reaching furthest back in form is the house recorded as Langgerekte woning onder zadeldak bij de molen, whose name describes rural building rather than city fabric. The name records a mill.
Kanaaldijk 288 at Koedijk carries the same rural note, while the Lukaskerk and the Beatles Museum belong to the built-up side of the same district.
Where is Huiswaard?
Huiswaard lies inside Alkmaar, in Provincie Noord-Holland, and its list reaches over to the Kanaaldijk at Koedijk.
