Korendragershuisje, Custom house in Franeker, Netherlands.

The Korendragershuisje stands with a gable roof and side wall that extends above the canal, featuring six wall anchors and five facade stones.

Built in 1634 as a waiting house and tollhouse, this structure served to measure and regulate grain trade during the Dutch Golden Age.

The facade displays the old city coat of arms of Franeker with a gold bell against a blue field and inscribed letters TAK.

Located at Eise Eisingastraat 28, the building underwent restoration works in 1924 and 1975 to maintain its structural elements and historical features.

The structure contains original corn meters on its facade, including a measurement standard called schepel that was used until 1937.
