is one of the oldest mounds and has a dense development. A 17th-century timber frame and roof construction has Kerkbuurt 9 (1602). The top facade dates from the beginning of the 20th century. In the interior, many 18th-century elements have been preserved, including bedsteads and a mantelpiece with cupboards on both sides.
Kerkbuurt 158 has an early 17th-century wooden skeleton with profiled key pieces. At the late-18th century house Kerkbuurt 165, the timber frame is older than the stone plinth on which the building is built. Such a stone substructure is often found in pile dwellings with brick substructures such as Kerkbuurt 5 and 6 (both first half of the 19th century) and Kerkbuurt 171-173 (circa 1865). The block of houses Kerkbuurt 168-170 (circa 1865) placed on stilts has been jacked up around 1900 due to flooding. A beautiful block of connected transverse houses forms Kerkbuurt 1-4. The in-house 16th-century and in the 18th century renovated house Kerkbuurt 28 (restored 1968) has a lower extension on the right. In the forem. rookhuisjes Kerkbuurt 44-47 is the Marker Museum. The wooden notables house Kerkbuurt 94-95 (circa 1840) is a cross house on a high brick plinth. At the chamfered corner, the roof rests on cut struts. Behind the dike near the harbor are the Buurten I-IV in Marken, which are set up a bit more spacious than the Kerkbuurt.
Sometimes there are also slightly larger buildings with several houses under one roof. Several houses date back to the 18th century, the houses built on stilts are mainly from the second half of the 19th century. Examples of this are Neighborhood I 2-4 and in Neighborhood II the numbers 1, 23, 24, 26, 27 and 27A. The pile dwellings Buurt III 1 and 7 were given a brick substructure around 1930. And the housing blocks Neighborhood IV 1-18, consisting of houses built on stilts with wooden frames, now have a high brick substructure. Sometimes a building was given a brick facade or facade, such as Neighborhood I 11 and Neighborhood II 2.
