Breezand is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Hollands Kroon, which is known for its flower bulbs, and lies about 7 km southeast of Den Helder.

Overview

The village was first mentioned in 1665 as Breesant, and means "wide sand" which refers to a former shoal to the north-east of Wieringen.[1] The polder in which Breezand was built, was created in 1847. In 1931, the Catholic St John Evangelist Church was inaugurated.[2] In 1914, a railway station opened on the Amsterdam to Den Helder railway line. It closed in 1938.[3]
