Picturesque Streets of Woudsend

Highlight • Settlement

From the point in this highlight, the church and mill form a beautiful ensemble. The Midstjittje should also be walked along the entire length because the individual houses are decorated very individually. Definitely worth seeing! 😍

Villa Romsicht

Highlight • Monument

In De Skatting 18 it says "Romsicht", popularly called "the villa" in Hegemer. The eel trader Jan Annes Visser had this house built in 1904 and lived there until 1961.

Behind the wooden bridge and the line of trees you can see this national monument. "Romsicht" is Frisian for "free view". The beautiful house was designed in Neo-Renaissance style by architect W.D. de Jong in Sneek. All kinds of Art Nouveau decorations can be found outside and inside.

Woudsend

Highlight • Settlement

The village was founded in the High Middle Ages on the western bank of the Ee. Woudsend became independent in the early eleventh century. Due to the growth and attraction for shipping, shipbuilding and woodworking, the village acquired a small-town character. In the 19th century the village continued to grow on the other side of the water. In the 20th century the village developed as a water sports resort.

In 1337 Woudsend was mentioned as Woldesende, in 1446 as Woldensend, in 1447 as Waldeseende, in 1492 as Woldsende, in 1505 as Wolseyndt, in 1516 as Walseyndt, in 1520 as Waldzein and in 1579 as Waldsem. The place name refers to the edge or end of a forest.
