In the southern part of the polder fortifications of the 'Stelling of Amsterdam' were built at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. 'Fort bij Spijkerboor' is open to the public. For further
information see the brochure on Forts in the Beemster.
Besides the church in Middenbeemster there are two other churches in the Beemster: the Mennonite
Vermaning (church building) along the Middenweg (1785) and the monumental Roman-Catholic
church in Westbeemster (1879). Next to this church there is a former convent, nowadays an
apartment building, and on the opposite side of the Kerkplein Café De Kerckhaen is located, which
was once founded as a clandestine church for the Catholic population (1752). For further information
see the brochure on Churches in the Beemster.
The Infocenter offers the visitor a wealth of information on the sights, the museums, the businesses
which are open to the public and the products that Beemster entrepreneurs sell. Many farms offer home grown produce or
home made products, such as cheese and butter, vegetables and fruits, fruit juices and even Beemster wine and beer! The Infocenter has folders, maps and plans, cycling and walking tours for sale and guided (day) tours are also possible.
