Kollumerpomp between Remembrance, Architectural Heritage and Trails
Kollumerpomp combines remembrance, architectural heritage and trails into a destination made interesting by specific places and their stories. A holiday apartment in Kollumerpomp suits travellers who do not want to plan just a single visit during their holiday, but instead want to combine different forms of culture, activity and regional discovery. The resistance monument is the focal point: The sculpture is made of white natural stone and depicts a seated male figure holding a rifle in his right hand. A young girl stands between his knees. The monument commemorates four members of the Dutch Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten who lost their lives fighting against the occupiers.
The resistance monument stands on Willem Loreweg near the junction with Soensterdijk in Kollumerpomp. Another distinctive building is the towerless Reformed church on Foyingaweg, which was built in 1906. The Contributiehuisje is also located near Rintjehoek; it was built in 1828 and served as a dyke house. Together, these places offer different ways to experience Kollumerpomp: The resistance monument represents remembrance, while the church and Contributiehuisje complement the village's architectural traces.
