Grote Noord
The street together with the Kleine Noord and the Grote Oost is one of the oldest streets in Hoorn. A first mention of the street dates from the 14th century as the Noertstraat. Het Grote Noord, together with the Kleine Noord, the Breed, the Gedempte Turfhaven and the Gouw, is part of "the shopping circle". Het Grote Noord is a connection between the Roode Steen and the intersection between the Grote and Kleine Noord and the Breed. Shoppers find the larger chains and fashion stores here.
