Originally intended as a city gate and defense tower when built in 1540, the Drommedaris' use has drastically changed from the past. Nowadays, the Drommedaris serves as a vibrant cultural centre in Enkhuizen, the Netherlands where concerts, plays, movies, art exhibits, cabarets, and many other types of shows and activities are held.
Affectionately called the Drom, this colossal fortified tower plays an integral role in local culture and is easily one of the most recognizable buildings along Enkhuizen’s harbour. Inside the tower’s thick defensive walls lies a well-known 44-bell carillon.
