Culture
Prominent in the town is a Reformed church with foundations from the 12th century and a lighthouse, which is 59 m high, dating from 1880. Another notable feature is the Commandeur huuskes. Commandeur refers to the captain of a whaling ship, as were used during the 18th century to hunt in the Arctic Ocean.
Another notable tourist attraction is the Sorgdragersmuseum, a history museum. The smock mill De Verwachting is in working order.
