On the occasion of the company’s 50th anniversary in February 1996, the former residence of the Spaansen family has been turned into a museum. Be informed and inspired by an extensive photo collection and countless utensils that connect the past, present and future of Spanish people as a respectable family business. Hostess Ada van der Wal – Spaansen: “The museum can only be visited by appointment or on open days. I am usually present myself to show people around and answer questions. It is astonishing that the museum still continues to attract visitors. Often there are even groups. People don’t expect to see that much. Every photo and every object has its own story. I am proud to be able to tell these stories.”

De Dikke Paal
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.
