Bakkum is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Castricum and lies about 12 km southwest of Alkmaar. It has three satellites: the village of Template:Ill, the hamlet Template:Ill and Bakkum aan Zee which is nowadays called Template:Ill.[1]
The village was first mentioned in the late-11th century as Bachem, and means "settlement on a height".[2] Bakkum used to be a heerlijkheid. In 1749, it was sold to Nicolaas Geelvinck who was Lord of Castricum among others.[3]
In 1812, Bakkum became a part of the municipality of Castricum.[1] Some tourism developed in the early 20th century, but Bakkum never developed into a seaside resort town. After World War II, it started to form a single urban area with Castricum.[3]
