The iron dinghy from 1899 is the only ship left of the Kolhorn fishing fleet.

This Foundation aims to commemorate and remember the planes and crew members who crashed in the municipality of Hollands Kroon during the Second World War by placing memorial poles.

The pumping station was built in 1927 and is equipped with a pump installation driven by electric motors. The building was built in a sleek variant of the Amsterdam School. The facades are built in clean masonry and the building has a striking tiled roof, covered with red tiles. Until recently, the pumping station drained the Schagerkoggeboezem and kept an area of 3,000 hectares dry.

From 17 April 2020 the new lookout point at the "Gat in de dijk" along the Noorderdijkweg in Wieringerwerf can be visited.

For centuries, Kolhorn was a harbor town on the former Zuiderzee. In Museum De Turfschuur you will find information about 1000 years of struggle against the water and the continuous adaptation to changing circumstances. From shipping and fishing to madder and arable farming.
