Oenemastate, Medieval fortified house in Heerenveen, Netherlands

The stone structure features classical Dutch architectural elements with symmetrical facades and large windows arranged in a traditional pattern throughout the building.

Built in 1640 by grietman Amelius van Oenema, the estate later served as a district house, town hall, and cantonal court through different periods.

The main hall contains a ceiling painting from 1663 by Mathias van Pelckum, representing the artistic preferences of Dutch nobility during the 17th century.

Located at Gemeenteplein 33 in Heerenveen, the building now functions as a grand café hotel, offering dining and accommodation services to visitors.

The structure stands on the foundation of an older stins called Moerborch, maintaining a continuous presence at this location for several centuries.
