Durgerdam and the View of Pampus
Highlight • Settlement
You can see all this from the Durgerdam dike. The dike was built in the early 1400s to protect the land from the storms on the Zuiderzee. The houses are therefore safely located just behind it. In the 17th century, the inhabitants mainly worked in shipping, but when that declined a century later, they turned to (herring) fishing. That too came to an end when the Afsluitdijk was built in 1932 and the Zuiderzee became the IJsselmeer. Now it is a protected village view. In the bend of the dike lies a square building called the 'chapel'. But it is not religious. It has had very different functions and is now a residential house. It was built in 1687 after Durgerdam was almost completely burned down in a fire. Amsterdam felt so sorry for the neighboring village that it collected money through a lottery (so even then). The chapel was built from the proceeds. With a beautiful view over the water.

Enneüs Heerma Bridge
Highlight • Bridge
Completed in 2001, the steel bridge was designed by Grimshaw Architects and is 230 meters long, 38 meters wide and 26 meters high and carries a thoroughfare and a tram line.
The classic gables of Amsterdam's canal houses served as inspiration for the arches and side gables, and the wavy patterns refer to the water. The segmented appearance is modeled after the skeleton of a crab.

Durgerdam Chapel
Highlight • Religious Site
After the great fire in Durgerdam in 1687, in which almost all the houses on the dyke went up in flames and the chapel with the city archives stored here was also damaged, the chapel was rebuilt from the ground floor up. This work began on August 25, 1687. To commemorate this event, a hard stone plaque with the year "1687" was made.
In 1866, after the construction of a larger school, the chapel became the postmaster's house and a police station with a real prison. From 1917 to 1925 it was a municipal fish auction, workshop and residence, and today it is a residence.
And during the war, in 1941, there was also a reconstruction commissioned by the German occupiers and carried out by the Public Works Department. The builder then used the chapel as a residence.
