Anna Paulowna (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑnaː pɑˈloːnaː] ⓘ) is a former municipality and a town in the Netherlands, in the province of North Holland. The name is derived from the Anna Paulownapolder, which was laid dry in 1846 during the reign of King William II of the Netherlands and named after his wife, Queen Anna Paulowna of Russia. Since 2012, Anna Paulowna has been a part of the new municipality of Hollands Kroon.
