Kortestreek

Lemmer is bursting with historic buildings and that is also reflected in Kortestreek. Especially the facades of these ancient gems are worth admiring. For example, take a look at the former Waterschapshuis that was built around the year 1800. The facade of this house shows the coats of arms of the seven Grietenijen and the city of Sloten. From this street you can also see the Dutch Reformed Church. The tower of this church is one of Lemmer's most famous buildings. In the time when Lemmer was an important port city, you found several shipyards at the end of this street. Maintenance was carried out on the fishing fleet at these yards.
