Egmond-Binnen (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌɛxmɔndˈbɪnə(n)]) is a village in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Bergen, and lies about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) southwest of Alkmaar.

History

The village was first mentioned in 922 as Ekmunde. The etymology is unknown. [3] The missionary Adalbert of Egmond founded a chapel near Egmond-Binnen and died there around 740. In 922, the Benedictine Egmond Abbey was founded at the location and a settlement developed around it. The abbey was plundered and partially destroyed in 1573. [4] The loot was used to finance the founding of Leiden University. [5]

René Descartes lived in the village during the 1640s. [6]

In 1789, the south tower collapsed, and the remainder was sold for demolition. [4]

The Dutch Reformed church was built in 1836 at the former north tower of the abbey. Between 1914 and 1956, the church was built and a tower was added. In 1933, a new monastery was built in Egmond-Binnen and elevated to abbey in 1950. [5]

Egmond-Binnen was home to 915 people in 1840. It was a separate municipality until 1978, when it merged with Egmond aan Zee and Egmond aan den Hoef to form the new municipality Egmond. In turn, Egmond was amalgamated into Bergen on 1 January 2001. [7]
