Wûnseradiel is a municipality in the Friesland (Fryslân) province of the northern Netherlands, at the eastern end of the Afsluitdijk. The official name is in West Frisian. In Dutch, it is known as Wonseradeel (pronunciation (help·info)).
As can be seen below Makkum is one of the towns of the municipality. It is very famous because of its faience. On April 30th 2008 Beatrix, the Queen of the Netherlands, visited Makkum, a.o. to celebrate that the local Queen's Organisation ("Koninginnevereniging") exists more then a hundred years. It needed only three Queens in that time: Wilhelmina, Juliana and now Beatrix. See: Website of the local Queen's Organisation
