Zijpe was a special area in the Netherlands. It was located in the province of North Holland. Think of it like a town or district that used to be on its own.
In 2013, Zijpe joined with another area called Harenkarspel. They both became part of a larger municipality named Schagen. So, Zijpe is no longer a separate municipality today.
