Noodopvang Wieringerwerf (Terpstraat)
The Van der Valk Hotel Wieringermeer at Terpstraat 49 in Wieringerwerf (Hollands Kroon) has housed around 100 asylum seekers in emergency reception since July 2024, under an agreement initially set for one year while a permanent centre was sought. In March 2025 the municipality rejected objections lodged against the reception. From late December 2025 the COA temporarily moved the roughly 100 residents to Stayokay Haarlem because the planned permanent centre at Breezand was running behind schedule, with the group kept together.

Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €184 per person per night for emergency reception (noodopvang), the 90 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €6.0m per year. This is an order-of-magnitude figure for context only, not a site-specific invoice — emergency reception typically runs around three times the cost of a regular centre.
