Podwalk: through the history of Winsum

Stap back in time to 1276, when the Dominicans founded a monastery on top of the Winsum mound and the Ripperda family ruled the village from their borg. Traces of these monks and jonkers are still visible today. Did you know, for instance, that the monks influenced the course of the Winsummerdiep, which runs right through the village? Or that there is a very special story behind the steps of the Tower Church? Take a walk through the history of Winsum and discover these special stories.

How does it work?
On the map on your screen you will find the route we are going to follow, on your phone you will get there via the icon at the bottom of the page. The podcast gives clues as to which way we are going, but it is good to look at the map for the route yourself. When you arrive at a point on the map where there is an audio clip, you can listen to it by clicking on the icon on the map. It is also possible to zoom the map. Watch the tutorial video for further explanation. Phone at hand? Earphones in? Ready to go!
