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. 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.

Bedijkte Boezem
The Bedijkte Boezem is a piece of grassland located in the West Frisian village of Winkel. Here young birds are spared by not mowing before mid-June. The area is too small and buildings are too close to really satisfy the many meadow birds. In the ponds there are year-round water birds such as spoonbill, teal, white hole and snipe for migrating. You can take a look at the Bedijkte Boezem, which can be easily seen from the Westfriese Dijk.
