You can also stand on top of the huge playing drum in the 500-year-old Speeltoren and use cameras to view all parts of the tower on a monitor.

Enjoy the various films about, among other things, the old tram line, cheese making, the origins of Monnickendam, the fish smokehouse, tourism in Broek in Waterland, the operation of the carillon and bell casting.
