Sytzama House
Sytzama House
What is now a grand café has a history closely connected with local government, the Second World War, and Baron Willem van Sytzama, the building's first owner, after whom it is named.
In Van Sytzama's time, there were very few buildings nearby. Instead, a large landscaped garden with extensive ponds stretched out behind the house. Baron Willem van Sytzama believed he was happily married to Cecilia van Heemskerk, but she left him for another man. Although the baron took legal action in an attempt to prevent the separation, he was unsuccessful. She never returned, and he never remarried. In later years, however, the building served as Kollum's town hall, where hundreds of marriages were celebrated.
During the Second World War, Mayor Gerben Feitsma was sworn into office in this building. The ceremony took place with prominent displays of flags and the Nazi salute. For that reason, Feitsma is often described as an NSB (Dutch National Socialist Movement) mayor. At the same time, there is evidence that he occasionally helped prevent residents of Kollum from being sent to Germany for forced labour by employing them on his farm. Because of his wartime record, his name is not always included in historical accounts.
His brother, Jan Feitsma, became notorious for a different reason. As Prosecutor General, he ordered signs reading "Jews Forbidden" to be displayed throughout the occupied Netherlands. The policy caused considerable controversy in Kollum during the war. The local tennis club preferred to close its courts rather than display such a sign. In early 1945, Jan Feitsma was shot dead by members of the Dutch Resistance. His funeral in Kollum was attended by numerous members of the SS.

Former railway station Wijnaldum
Former railway station Wijnaldum
The former Wijnaldum railway station recalls the local railway line that connected the village with Harlingen, Leeuwarden and Stiens between 1903 and 1936. The carefully restored station building is one of the few surviving reminders of this historic railway connection.
Wijnaldum (station abbreviation: Wnd) was a stop on the former railway line between Stiens and Harlingen. Located near the hamlet of Voorrijp, the station opened on 1 October 1903. Passenger services continued until 15 May 1935.
The station building was constructed according to the NFLS Standard Type, a design used by the North Frisian Local Railway Company for several stations and halts throughout Friesland. Wijnaldum was classified as a third-class halt within this standard design.
