"Kaart van de heerlijkheid Castricum" is a detailed map of the Castricum estate created by Jan Punt in 1737. The map is a meticulous representation of the land, with divisions of property highlighted by different colors. The elaborate cartouche, featuring a coat of arms and figures of angels, adds a decorative touch to the map, elevating it beyond a mere practical tool. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Punt's skill in cartography and his ability to blend artistic flair with accurate depictions.
