Huizen (pronounced [ˈɦœyzə(n)] ⓘ) is a municipality and a village in the province of North Holland, the Netherlands.

After the damming of the Zuiderzee in 1932, the old sea became a lake, and economic activity shifted towards industry and commerce.

In the 1960s the town was designated to build substantially large residential areas, to overcome the housing shortage in the region.

Where the Phohi-flat now stands in Huizen, before World War II was a large transmitter intended to contact the Dutch East Indies, some 12.000 km away.

It was re-erected in 1919 at the Netherlands Open Air Museum, Arnhem, Gelderland.
