Holland is a coastal region in the western Netherlands dotted with tulip fields, cycling paths and windmills. North Holland province is home to the country’s canalside capital, Amsterdam, whose rich artistic heritage is showcased at the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. The provincial capital, Haarlem, is known for its medieval landmarks, 17th-century Golden Age masterpieces at the Frans Hals Museum and the Heineken breweries. In the 16th century, the paper industry in Apeldoorn experienced remarkable growth, largely influenced by significant historical figures. One notable event was the purchase of Paleis Het Loo by William III of Orange, which marked a pivotal moment in the region's development. Additionally, King William I made a substantial contribution by digging the Kanaal and providing funds for the creation of a tow path. This investment not only facilitated trade and transportation but also played a crucial role in enhancing the local economy. The flourishing paper industry during this period laid the groundwork for Apeldoorn's vibrant economic landscape, showcasing the importance of royal patronage in shaping the area’s industrial legacy.
