Fam. Terpstra

This restaurant is situated in a typical Dutch farmhouse in the picturesque village of Kolhorn. Ideal for a stop during hiking and cycling. Enjoy the sun at the cosy terrace. Open for lunch and dinner.

The building may date from the 15th century, but was later modified with a three-sided closure and a northern extension. After considerable damage in the village fire of 15 September 1788, the church was restored in 1791-1792. The tower consists of a simple 19th-century tower with an eight-sided spire.

The iron dinghy from 1899 is the only ship left of the Kolhorn fishing fleet.

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.

facilities in the harbor building - kiosk with terrace on the water - large shopping center in Middenmeer - restaurants and center 800m

The house is a national monument and the former wooden fish shed has the status of a provincial monument.

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.

Sailing trips

You can go for delicious ice cream and sandwiches at the Egelantier in Kolhorn. When the weather is nice you can enjoy it on the terrace with a view of Kolhorn. Who knows, a few boats are just passing by.
