Characteristic of the island you can see the beautiful, historic, partly thatched sheep barns with the three roofs typical of Texel to withstand the strong westerly wind. The leeward side of the barn always extends to the roof ridge and faces east. Each barn has a name, which dates back to the time when there were no street names.
