Bakkerij Out - 1897
Prachtig pand met topgevel uit de 18e eeuw. Hier wordt al ruim 400 jaar brood gebakken. De klassieke bakkerij is zelfs ouder dan de Kerkbrug (1649). Het oudste zichtbare deel van het pand dateert uit de 18e eeuw. Boven de winkeldeur mooi glas-in-lood n.l. het bakkerswapen: een gekroonde krakeling. Al begin 1600 is sprake van een 'brood-, koek- en beschuitbakkerij annex tapperij. De oudst bekende bakker hier is Bruijn Claesz. De bakkerij is in de eeuwen daarna vele malen in andere handen overgegaan. Sinds 1897 is de bakkerij in bezit van de familie Out, dus ruim 125 jaar. De winkel is in 1971 gerestaureerd en heeft de historische allure van vroeger.

Bread since 1600: A bakery is believed to have existed on this very spot as early as 1600. Records from that time mention a "bakery for bread, cookies, and rusks, combined with a tavern." The earliest(Submitted on September 28, 2026.)known baker was Bruijn Claesz, who is listed as a neighbor in a deed of conveyance for the Portuguese-Israelite Cemetery. Over the ensuing centuries, the bakery changed hands many times. The oldest visible section of the building dates back to the 18th century. It is also evident that the building was frequently modified to suit the changing needs of successive generations of bakers. The last major renovations took place in 1918, 1967, and 1971. Above the shop entrance, a beautiful piece of stained glass displays the bakers' coat of arms: a crowned pretzel. The shop still houses the original "Bakkers Beschuitbus" (Baker’s Rusk Tin) from 1918. A new, dedicated bread-baking facility was built at the rear in 1967, followed by the renovation of the shop itself in 1971. This restoration was carried out in collaboration with architect N. Philippona from Broek in Waterland, an expert on historic buildings. Old beams were exposed once more, and the shop windows were restored to their original style. Thanks to this restoration, the bakery regained the traditional, historic charm of yesteryear, complete with its wood carvings and antique counter. In 1972, the bakery even featured as the main subject of the children's television program Bibelebons.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, September 1, 20263.
