Woodenshoefactory on the isle land of Marken
Reviewed By Montreal_native - Edmonton, Canada
We quite enjoyed the demonstration of how clogs are made. The young man who did the presentation was quite energetic and clearly enjoys his work and is very proud of it. The little store inside was also neat and offered a few good photo spots with the big clog outside. Worth a look if in the area.
3. Original House of Marken
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 37 reviews
At the harbour of Marken you will find a ‘small museum house’. It’s designed as a old original House in Marken. Here you can see the period furniture and decor and you can see how the people from Marken lived in the early days. This tiny house is exactly furnished as how a Marken fishing family lived there until about 1932. The walls of the house are covered with colorful signs and prints.

The lighthouse ‘Paard van Marken’ (English: Horse of Marken) was built in 1839 by J. Valk. A primitive tower had been on the location since the early 18th century; the current lighthouse is declared a national monument in 1970. The tower 16 meters tall and has a light range of 16,7 Km. Every night it’s light shines over the IJsselmeer.
