Once the home of the duck hunter, now used to explain how the nearby duck decoy once worked - the English word originates from the Dutch word “eendenkooi”. Still has a few ducks left, the lucky kind. The decoy is now in the middle of nature reserve Naardermeer. Check out the guided tour: https://www.natuurmonumenten.nl/natuurgebieden/naardermeer/agenda/boottocht-naar-eendenkooi-naardermeer
A statue of Comenius next to his mausoleum and a small museum. There is a larger statue next to the church. Both are way too small to commemorate such a great educator. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Amos_Comenius http://www.comeniusmuseum.nl
