Noard No. 5 is presently occupied by the local VVV offices. It is dated 1663 and is owned by the Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser. It is the best example in town of a high trap gevel, and has carved pilasters supporting all the windows, scaled to suit. The amount of stone in its facade says the original owner/builder had wealth and status in the town.

Find its complete history and detailed description in Huizen in Nederland: Friesland en Noord-Holland page 147.
