The Former Weigh House
The Former Weigh House
A look at old photographs reveals that the building looks even more attractive today than its predecessor. The people of Kollum have taken good care of this historic landmark. The weigh house was a public building where goods could be officially weighed. Its presence was particularly important for trade in butter and cheese.
A public weigh house in Kollum is first mentioned in the 16th century. That original building stood next to the Rechthuis (courthouse). In 1779, a new weigh house was built here on the Westerdiepswal, at the heart of the bustling waterfront. The wide entrance to the former weighing hall, where two weighing scales were once installed, can still be clearly recognised in the façade.
The pediment above the façade bears the coats of arms and names, added in 1779, of grietman (district magistrate) Martinus van Scheltinga, his deputy Focke Hijlckes Eskes, and Albert Luitjens, who served together with Eskes as church warden. The building was owned by the Dutch Reformed Church, which leased out the weigh house. In 1871 it was sold to a private owner, after which an official weighmaster appointed by the municipality supervised its operation. With the rise of the dairy industry in Friesland, the weigh house gradually lost its function. In 1895, the building was converted into a private residence.

Hearewâltjse
Hearewâltjse
The village harbour was once located at the Hearewâltsje. This was the home of peat skipper Jan Lampe, owner of a snikke—a traditional Frisian cargo boat used to transport goods to nearby towns and villages.
In the past, Wijnaldum had a thriving local economy with a variety of shops and skilled craftsmen. Goods reached the village by both road and water. A small harbour once stood here, where cargo boats unloaded goods, including peat. Through the Ried waterway, the harbour was connected to Franeker, making Wijnaldum an important link in the region's trade network.
