Oorspronkelijk was dit het rechthuis voor de stede Winkel. Zowel het bestuurlijk als rechtsprekende orgaan was hier ondergebracht. Het exacte bouwjaar is niet met zekerheid te zeggen maar op een zandstenen gevelsteen in het gebouw staat het gemeentewapen van Winkel met het jaartal 1599 vermeld. In 1415 kreeg Winkel stadsrechten en mocht een weekmarkt organiseren. De botermarkt werd tot 1860 voor het raadhuis georganiseerd. In 1666 werd de verdieping met toren toegevoegd. In de loop der jaren heeft het gebouw ook gefungeerd als waag, brandweerpost, school, postkantoor, politiebureau en museum.

The Lucaskerk was built in 1845 on a mound.

The boundary post indicated where the maintenance obligations regarding the West Frisian sea dike were. The post features the coats of arms of the water boards that had traditionally maintained the dike sections under Winkel. This is where the section of the dike that was maintained by the Vier Noorder Koggen ended and the section that was allocated to Drechterland in 1339 began. This post is the replacement for the one that was burned during the famine winter of 1944, replaced in 1991 at the initiative of the Stichting Historisch Niedorp.
