Welcome to one of the oldest villages in Wieringen. According to legend, a monastery for white monks once stood here in the middle ages. During the Protestant Iconoclasm, the monks were said to have removed the golden bell from the clock tower and buried it, before they fled. Although the golden bell has never been found, Stroe is fortunately home to many more treasures.
The authentic farmhouses of Wieringen are striking and often still fulfil their original agricultural function. Stroe is located near the Waddenzee, where you can walk on the mudflats, take a boat trip or go shrimp fishing. Or where you can walk endlessly over the dike. So put on your sunglasses and lean into the wind. In Stroe you will also find the ‘Wieringer Eilandmuseum Jan Lont’ museum farm, which is also an original Wieringer style farmhouse. The Harlinger wall tile in the farmhouse with images from the Old and New Testament dates from nineteen hundred. So who still cares about a golden bell?
Tip! The Wiringherlant recreation park is situated just behind the dike beside the Waddenzee. You will find beautiful recreation villas, chalets, hotel rooms and hikers' huts here.
