Balk has a rich history, dating back to the Middle Ages. The village developed along the Luts, a historic river that was traditionally important for shipping. In the 19th century, Balk became a centre of the dairy industry, and the village flourished due to the many farms that processed their products here. This heritage is still visible in the authentic buildings and the rural character of the village.

It Bûterhûs

Highlight • Cafe

The name It Bûterhûs was chosen because of the history of the building. But also because Balk has become modern-day Balk: because of the butter trade. Balk is the Frisian village on the Luts, known for the 11-city route. It is a lively village with many activities and recreation options. Balk has everything to offer you a pleasant stay: water, forest and beautiful landscape!
At It Bûterhûs you can also enjoy a delicious cup of coffee, tea with something tasty and a small lunch. The location also has a tourist agency and a sales point for local and Fair Trade products.
