Marken is a former island, now a peninsula, in the Markermeer, which has been connected to the mainland by a dike since 1957. The village belongs to the municipality of Waterland in the Dutch province of North Holland.

It was an independent municipality until 1991. In that year the territory was added to the municipality of Waterland.

The former fishing village has been a tourist attraction for at least a century. Marken's striking costumes contributed to this. The wooden houses on stilts are characteristic. Even older are the so-called "yards", artificial elevations on which people lived.

Marken forms one place of residence and residence but is divided into various hamlets. Originally they were really separate from each other. The hamlets around the harbour and the church have grown together in the course of the 20th century. These are the Havenbuurt, Kerkbuurt and De Kets (also known as Kets for short). Nevertheless, the neighbourhoods can still be clearly recognized.
