Ceremonial front doors
Some houses in Broek in Waterland have a ceremonial front door. These doors were only used for weddings and funerals. Furthermore, many of the front doors are decorated with a door calf, a horizontal intermediate sill that separates the door from the window above the door. Some door calves show a year, other door calves consist only of decorations. The purpose of this was to make it easier to recognize houses in the time when there were no house numbers.
