Fam. Terpstra

The pumping station was built in 1927 and is equipped with a pump installation driven by electric motors. The building was built in a sleek variant of the Amsterdam School. The facades are built in clean masonry and the building has a striking tiled roof, covered with red tiles. Until recently, the pumping station drained the Schagerkoggeboezem and kept an area of 3,000 hectares dry.

The Municipal Marina in Kolhorn is located on the West Frisian Omringdijk. At the port there is the possibility of refueling. In the village there are restaurants where you can eat. Since 2016, the port has modern facilities in a new port office. There is also wifi in the harbor. In summer, the annual night markets in the village are organized.

The skippers' guild was housed in the building at Keern 2 because from here there was a view of both the outer water and the inner water of Kolhorn.

At the harbor of Kolhorn, De Eilanderij is a charming bistro and Winckel is located on the waterfront. Here you can experience the charm of the old fishing village, with honest dishes, local beers, and homemade treats. Warm and welcoming. A place to unwind—with coffee, lunch, dinner, or a good conversation. 🌿

Stolp built in 1856/1858 with a symmetrical facade and two front doors.

A new route for paddlers of all levels.

For centuries, Kolhorn was a harbor town on the former Zuiderzee. In Museum De Turfschuur you will find information about 1000 years of struggle against the water and the continuous adaptation to changing circumstances. From shipping and fishing to madder and arable farming.
