The Reformed Church "De Fontein" dates from 1790 and was built on the remains of a 13th-century tuff stone predecessor. Later, in 1926, a second nave was added to the north side. As a national monument, the church stands out for its unique features, such as the cast bell, the pulpit, the baptismal font, the stained-glass window, and the organ. During the summer months, the church opens its doors on Saturday afternoons to visitors who wish to explore or enjoy a quiet conversation.

To reach Friesland, you pass through Lemmer, the "gateway" to Friesland. Whether you travel by water or land, somewhere on the horizon looms the 60-meter-long chimney of one of the Netherlands' finest crown jewels: the Ir. D.F. Woudagemaal. The largest still-functioning steam pumping station in the world dates back to 1920 and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998. This monumental steam-powered giant is still used by Wetterskip Fryslân to ensure water levels in Friesland are kept dry. The Ir. D.F. Woudagemaal in Lemmer has a rich history. The first construction plans for the old steam pumping station were drawn up back in the steam era, in 1913. Chief Engineer of the Provincial Water Authority of Friesland, Ir. D.F. Wouda designed the pumping station in 1917–1918 in a traditional style with rationalist influences. Queen Wilhelmina opened the Woudagemaal on October 7, 1920. The Woudagemaal was urgently needed because during the winters of the 19th and early 20th centuries, parts of Friesland were flooded. This caused considerable disruption. The Woudagemaal was deployed to support the locks and windmills in discharging excess inland water. Since its opening in 1920, the Woudagemaal has made a significant contribution to preventing the Frisian countryside from flooding during heavy rainfall. Before the steam pumping station came into operation, excess Frisian inland water was discharged to the Zuiderzee and the Wadden Sea for centuries using windmills and locks. Due to the subsidence of peat soil, this became increasingly problematic over the course of the 19th century, which is why the construction of the steam pumping station near Lemmer represented a major leap forward in water management in our water-rich province. Once a year, the pumping station is put into operation. Enthusiasts can purchase tickets for access to a steam-powered pumping station. This year, the event runs from Tuesday, October 14th to Thursday, October 16th. The Wetterskip Fryslân (Fryslân Water Board) is using the pumping station to train its operating staff. Tickets for this experience can be ordered on the website.

At the Herenwal and Lindengracht, a very nice place to take a picture

Little traffic - rolls very well

The most terrifying 'col' on the Frisian mainland.

The church is located at the end of the main street.

Spannenburg is known for its beam connection tower, bridge over the Margriet canal and the bus station with roadside restaurant. The bridge was built in 1952, the fixed part of this bridge has a clearance height of 7.05 meters. The tower of Spannenburg was built in 1972 and is still the highest tower in Friesland at 118 meters.
