De Terminus
De Terminus
The boundary marker ‘de Terminus’ on top of the dike marks the boundary between the new and the old land.
This boundary marker indicates the division between the old land and the newly reclaimed land. The land reclamation was highly valuable, creating new fertile agricultural land to cultivate. However, a dispute arose over who had the right to this land: the people of the old land or those of the newly reclaimed land.
Ultimately, the land went to the people of the newly reclaimed land. Today, land reclamation has ceased in order to protect the beautiful nature outside the dike.

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.
