The statue called 'De Monnik' (The Monk') and in the background the harbor of Monnickendam, North Holland, The Netherlands. The name of Monnikendam is related to the fact that there used to be a monastery in former centuries, hence the name. Monnickendam (usually Monnikendam in English) is a part of the municipality of Waterland, and lies on the coast of the IJsselmeer, about 8 km southeast of Purmerend. It received city rights in 1355 and suffered a lot of damage during the fires of 1500 and 1513.
