Skierstins

The Skierstins stands as a stone tower with thick defensive walls, featuring multiple floors connected by narrow staircases and traditional architectural elements.

Built during the Middle Ages as part of the defensive network, this structure served as both a residential tower and a fortified refuge for local nobility.

The museum exhibits highlight regional Frisian heritage through displays of artifacts, documents, and regular temporary exhibitions focusing on local traditions.

Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Sunday between 13:30 and 17:00, with guided tours available to understand the building's architecture.

This tower remains the last preserved stins in Friesland, representing a specific type of medieval defensive residence typical of northern Netherlands.
