• Beatrixbrug Zaandam Centrum - The Beatrixflat, also known as the Beatrixtoren, is a prominent residential building in the center of Zaandam, Netherlands. Built in 1963, it stands about 25 meters tall and includes seven residential floors above two commercial levels. As Zaandam’s first modern high-rise, it symbolized the optimism of the post-war reconstruction era and has become a distinctive city landmark.
• Monument Februaristaking 1941 - The February Strike Monument in Zaandam honors the brave general strike of February 25–26, 1941, when Dutch citizens protested against the Nazi persecution of Jews during World War II. Situated on the balustrade of the Wilhelminasluis canal lock, near Dam Square, the monument features a small bronze sculpture by former resistance fighter Truus Menger, depicting a worker with a bicycle, symbolizing the collective resistance of ordinary people. This touching memorial serves as a reminder of the solidarity and courage shown by the residents of Zaandam and other Dutch cities in standing up against oppression.
• The Tsar Peter House - The Czar Peter House (Dutch: Czaar Peterhuisje) in Zaandam is one of the oldest wooden houses in the Netherlands, constructed in 1632. In 1697, Tsar Peter the Great of Russia stayed here during his Grand Embassy, living incognito to learn about Dutch shipbuilding techniques. Today, the house is part of the Zaans Museum and is open to visitors, offering insights into this significant historical encounter between Russia and the Netherlands.
