There is still a lot of well-preserved culture to discover. Throughout the town are beautiful facades and monumental buildings, such as the St Gertrudis Church and the Waag. Workum originated along the Wijmerts river. As early as the 14th century, many ships left Workum via the Wijmerts to the Zuiderzee and far beyond. Workum also had a fishing fleet and acquired rights to the Thames in London through eel fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industry and potteries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides maritime activities, the flourishing of livestock farming and industry also brought prosperity. There were industrial enterprises such as shipyards, sailmaking, weaving and spinning mills. A flourishing cloth and linen industry developed, with the Workumer El (71 cm) being set as the benchmark for all of Friesland in 1504. The presence of suitable clay meant there were many potteries. Walking through the town, many gables tell the wonderful stories of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jopie Huisman Museum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is one of the most popular museums in the north.
