The northwest of Friesland (Westergo) was a centre of wealth, power and goldsmith art in the early Middle Ages.
Remarkable gold finds have been discovered in particular around Wijnaldum. It’s clear from this that the area occupied an important position within the Frisian kingdom of that time. This history is brought to life in the Support Point of Wijnaldum, located in the old consistory next to the Andeas Church. The most spectacular find from this village is a large golden cloak pin (or fibula), Friesland's most famous archaeological object. Starting from the mid-20th century, several pieces of this cloak pin dating from 650 have been found over the years, with which it could be further reconstructed. The Support Point regularly organises activities such as walks to the terp where the pin was found.

Remains of the Atlantic Wall in Harlingen
Remains of the Atlantic Wall in Harlingen
The bunkers at Harlingen were part of the Atlantic Wall: the more than 6,000-kilometer-long German defense line from Norway to Spain. The Atlantic Wall is one of the largest structures of the 20th century.
The line was built during the Second World War between 1942 and 1945 to prevent an Allied invasion of the Western European mainland from the sea. The Atlantic Wall was a series of separate smaller and larger support points that could give each other fire support.
In many cases they consisted of bombproof bunkers, sometimes with a wall and roof thickness of at least two meters of reinforced concrete. Due to a lack of labour, equipment and fuel, only 510 bunkers of the planned 2000 had been built in the Netherlands. In the English Garden in Harlingen is a German bunker that was part of the Atlantic Wall. It concerns a Communications Command Post with which the Germans coordinated the Frisian coastal defences.
