Have you ever heard of the Mermaid of Edam, a legend about a mermaid who was rescued from a lake and learned to live like a human in Edam, Netherlands?
This house at Jan Nieuwenhuizenplein 15 has a stone plaque that shows the mermaid holding a spinning wheel, which is said to be the skill she learned in Edam. The house is called De Meyrmin van Edam.
The mermaid is a symbol of Edam’s history and culture, and you can find her image on other places and artworks in the town.
