Cheese factory The Purmer
In the early 20th century, two cheese factories were built in the Purmer.
At Kwadijk De Verwachting (1904) and a cheese factory (1901) at Oosterweg 4 called De Purmer. Farmers from the Purmer brought their milk here from which cheese and butter were made. The current building replaced the original cheese factory but has long since ceased to be used as a dairy.
