NIEDERLANDE ZURICH
Houses in Zurich in the Dutch Province of Friesland. The village with a population of 170 people is located 900 kilometers from Zuerich in Switzerland. The name "Zurich" originated by chance. The village used to lie on a southern shore of an estuary. "Southern shore" translates to "suder ich" in Frisian. Which resulted in the abbreviation "Zurich".
