Zurich, Netherlands

Zurich (West Frisian: Surch) is a village in the north of the Netherlands.

As a result, the village receives many visitors, including from Switzerland.

Therefore a 2000 plan of the municipality of Wonseradeel, to change from the Dutch Zurich to the Frysian Surch was opposed by the villagers.

Due to the construction of the Afsluitdijk, the population increased, and in 1958 340 people lived there.

Since the road to the Afsluitdijk no longer runs through the village, the population has decreased again.
