The Anna Paulownapolder was drained in 1846. A lock and lever were built for the transport route from the North Holland Canal to the Molenvaart. Presumably a house for the lock and bridge keeper was also built. Archive documents show that in 1892 the order was given for the construction of a stone house with a café by lock and bridge keeper J. Langedijk. The café was visited by ship's crew and passers-by. In 1968 the lifting bridge and lock were removed due to a reduction in shipping traffic. A road was built over the former lock.

The farmhouse was built around 1611, just after the polder was drained. For a long time, the farmhouse was used as an inn.

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.

The first stone of the double stolp farm was laid on 2 April 1879 by J. Spaans. There was already a stolp called 'Kieftenburg' on the Hogebierenweg, but it burned down in 1878. It is uncertain where the name of the farm comes from. In West Friesland a lapwing is called a 'kieft', but it is derived from 'kiften' or to quarrel. The name 'Kieftenburg' has been around for centuries.

The patronage building was built in 1906 for the education of the Roman Catholic youth of the adjacent church.
