Twaspan, Wijnjewoude

Updated on: 21-10-2025

The former elementary school De Twaspan in Wijnjewoude merged several years ago and moved to the adjacent building De Sinnewizer. Together with Plaatselijk Belang, it was agreed to further develop the former school grounds for housing. 

There is a great need for new housing in Wijnjewoude. The demolition of the school and the construction of eight new semi-detached houses will meet this need. The municipality owned the site. In the spring of 2024, the planning procedure was completed to change the zoning of the area for new construction. 

Planning

  • Q3 2025: Site preparation for construction
  • Q4 2025: Sale of the lots

Draw

On Thursday, October 2, 2025, the first official draw for project-based lots in the municipality of Opsterland took place in the town hall of Beetsterzwaag. 

Notary Cor van Dijk performed the drawing, in the presence of Alderman Marcel van Opzeeland and Tineke Dreijer of Plaatselijk Belang Wijnjewoude.

From the fourteen bidders, Toeck B.V. and Bouw- en Aannemingsbedrijf G. de Haan & Zn B.V. emerged as winners from the draw. The companies signed the purchase agreement immediately after the draw.
