There is a lime kiln on the other side of the Damsterdiep. Shells (containing a lot of calcium carbonate) have been used for a long time in coastal areas to make lime products.
The shells were heated with peat, which took several days. The residue consisted of a corrosive product, namely quicklime (calcium oxide). By pouring water on this powdery material, which releases a lot of heat, slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) is created. Lime was used from the beginning of the masonry activities.
