Banpost and lock keepers house Schardam
Banpost (boundery marker) and lock keepers house Schardam. Between the Noorder- and Zuidersluis (Northern and Southern lock), there is a ban post of the city of Hoorn, which was placed there in 1761. At that time Schardam therefore still partly belonged to the jurisdiction of the city of Hoorn. The banpost shows a red-colored unicorn; the horn is golden and points in the direction of the city of Hoorn, on the other side of Hoornse Hop. The animal also holds a shield depicting Hoorn's coat of arms. The banpaal is a national monument. Schardam, North-Holland, the Netherlands.
