Ban pole on the border of Westwoud Exile as a severe punishment Three beautiful and historically interesting ban posts have been preserved in West Friesland. One of these, a bollard from 1754, is located on the Streekweg, on the border between Westwoud and Hoogkarspel. It is also the former border between the city of Grootebroek and the city of Westwoud. On the heavy brick base is a sandstone pole, crowned by a lion, holding a shield with the coat of arms of Westwoud, consisting of a barren tree with three birds in the branches. They refer to the three original villages of the urban West Forest: Westwoud, Ooster- and Westerblokker. Those villages have the same village coat of arms.
