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.

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.

Demonstration of the oldest clockwork.
