IJmuiden is a city in the Dutch province of North Holland, the main town of the municipality of Velsen. It lies about 10.3 miles north of Haarlem. In the Roman era, this Velsen district was already inhabited, and archeological finds indicate there was a North Sea port of some regional importance built here.
The North Sea Canal connects the North Sea with the IJ Bay in Amsterdam. Besides the Velsen Municipality Hall, designed by the famous architect Willem Dudok, important sights in IJmuiden are the North Sea locks. The latter are among the largest in the world and one set is able to close off a shipping lane 50 meters wide and 12 meters deep. There are plans to enlarge or build a new set to facilitate passage for even larger vessels.
