Verhildersum, Historical estate in Leens, Netherlands.

The 80-acre Verhildersum estate contains a fortified manor house, gardens, orchards, and a farm museum representing rural life in Groningen.

The estate gained prominence in 1820 when Edzard Tjarda van Starkenborgh and his wife Alieda established their residence in the transformed fortified farmhouse.

The estate presents three perspectives of 19th-century life through the stories of nobility, workers, and farmers who shaped the Hogeland region.

Visitors can reach the estate by taking Bus 65 from Groningen to the 'Borg Verhildersum' stop, with free parking and e-bike charging available.

The estate maintains ancient fruit varieties in its orchard and displays the Eagle plow, brought from New York in 1850 by farmer Cornelis Borgman.
