A compact red-brick customs tower on the Bierkade canal in Alkmaar, the Accijnstoren offers strong geometry, warm textures and attractive canal reflections. Shoot façades, clockface and waterside reflections at golden hour; evening shots work with illuminated windows and street lamps. Centrally located—easy on-foot access from Alkmaar station, limited street parking nearby; pedestrian areas can be busy during the Friday cheese market (Apr–Sept). No regular interior access, so plan exterior/compo
