One of these places is the Bontekoe Birthplace, which is where Willem Ysbrantzzon was born. He was a captain of the sea with the East India Company, and he has journals of his own that were published in 1646. They tell of his adventurous accounts, which are incredible. One of them includes a voyage his company made from Hoorn to Jakarta. During their trip the mainmast snapped, panic began to spread, and there was a massive explosion that made them have to abandon their ship.

The Galerie de Kunstalon is also a nice place to see. It is both a workshop and gallery that is the host of a varied collection of temporary art and exhibition fair during the year.
