It doesn't happen often, but because the controls are handled by the passing skipper, it can take a long time...get out of the boat, open the bridge, return to the boat ⛵, sail on, back to the bridge and close it...

The church was bought in 1984 for conversion into shops and apartments. The building has 36 residential units, 18 of which are located between the wooden barrel vault and the roof, with the remaining apartments in the former rectory at the rear of the church. The tower is owned by the congregation. The Remembrance Day ceremony is held in the church every year. On January 4, 1945, five men were shot dead in front of the church. A memorial to them is attached to the facade to the right of the tower. This spot is also the end of the silent march that takes place every May 4 in memory of the men. A hotel and restaurant opened on the ship in 2022.

The old town hall of Spanbroek was built in 1598 and is still used as a wedding venue.

To look

The Berkmeermolen is an octagonal inner mill. The Berkmeermolen is a polder mill built in 1608, which was moved in 1803 from its original location near Hensbroek to its current location in Berkmeer near Obdam. In 1877, an auxiliary steam pumping station was added, which was electrified in 1925. The mill was then stripped of its sails. The mill was out of work until 1941. In that year, the Berkmeermolen was made operational again and has been running regularly since then. The Berkmeermolen is a thatched octagonal mill of the ground-sailer type. The hood of the mill is equipped with a crosspiece with wooden rollers, which is seasoned from the inside. The mill is, like more North Holland polder mills, an inner mill. The Berkmeermolen is equipped with a Flemish catch.

The first church in Hoorn stood outside the dike on the west side of the city. It was a small church made of wood and reed, dedicated to St. Cyriacus. This church was destroyed by fire in 1328, although it is also possible that this fire occurred in 1330. Another possibility is that the church was swallowed up by the water that year. Then we hear nothing about a church for a number of years until in 1369 a church made of wood and reed is built on the site of the current Grote Kerk on the Kerkplein. When the church was completed a year later and was to be consecrated by the bishop of Utrecht, the population wanted John the Baptist to become the patron saint. The bishop then decided to consecrate the church in honour of both saints: Saint Cyriacus and Saint John the Baptist (Jan Baptist

The Berkmeermolen stands proudly in the open North Holland landscape, surrounded by vast polders and waterways. This characteristic polder mill, built in the 17th century, still has an important function in water management.
