Rented by Engelien Bouma

My name is Engelien Bouma. In 2015, we bought the building that was about to be demolished due to years of vacancy and water damage. Because we have a passion for monuments, we saved the building and gave it a new purpose. On the ground floor, we have created a coffee and tea room with lunch as a work and study place for people with intellectual disabilities. We also sell special (Fairtrade) gifts and are a VVV information point. On the top floor, we rent out three charming apartments: ZON, BOS and WATER. Together with EspecialCare, we run the company with great pleasure.

It Bûterhûs has a rich history, once inhabited by butter merchant Poppes, who had the facade stone with butter barrels, butter drill and the family crest (three clovers and three triangles) placed. We have incorporated these elements into our logo. Various original details from that time can still be found in the apartments.

In addition, we have put together the audio tour "Balk Boterdorp" together with the historical society, a walk of about an hour with 10 listening points.

Tips from the owner

Nice tips:
Walk the interesting audio tour Balk Boterdorp. Rent a sloop and sail through the Luts to the forest and to the nature reserve 'de Wyldemerk'. You can also make a round, then continue sailing over the Fluessen to Woudsend and back to Balk. Rent bicycles and make nice day trips by means of the bicycle. the junction cycle map. Book the ferry to Heeg in the summer and get on the skûtsje (by bike)! Also nice is the Balk escape loop, for sale at It Bûterhûs.
