Kalkoven
On Hellingstraat in Zoutkamp stands a replica of a kalkoven, once used to burn schelpen to produce lime for building materials.
There were once two kalkovens here, commissioned by Sebo Huininga Woldringh. In these, schelpen collected from the sea were burnt and processed into lime, which was used for purposes including bricklaying and plastering.
Next to the Kalkoven stands Visser’s House, or rather: the fisherman’s cottage of Tjark and Grietje Visser. It was demolished in the late 1960s and spent a long time in storage at the Zuiderzee Museum. It is now a holiday home.
