The farmhouse was built in 1828. The pyramid-shaped roof rests on a single square. In 2020, the farm will be almost completely covered with reeds. The protruding front house (original living area) has a wooden top facade and is completely covered with tiles. Special about the farm is the garden of more than 2 hectares of land with a forest. There are 29 walnut trees on the plot, which produce hundreds of kilos of walnuts every year. This is a West Frisian bell jar because the drone doors are located at the front of the farm, windows have been made above for extra daylight. The drone doors at the front make it easier to bring hay and cattle into the farm via the road. The front door is on the right side of the road. This door used to give direct access to the cow corridor. When you opened the door, you stepped right behind the cows. The oldest farms have a front house with the actual bell jar behind it, as at this farm. In 1990 a conservatory was built at the rear of the farmhouse. In 2020, the wooden barge was removed from the front house during a restoration, the chimney was decorated with a decorative cap and the front house was covered with thatch. In addition, skylights have been installed in the front and rear.

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.

Voormalig Raadhuis Winkel
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.

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.
