Poptaslot, Medieval manor house in Marsum, Netherlands
The rectangular estate features defensive towers, stepped gables, moats, and gardens surrounding a central castle structure with an adjacent gatehouse.
Originally constructed in the 15th century as a defensive structure, the estate was purchased by lawyer Henricus Popta in 1687 who transformed it into his summer residence.
The estate includes an almshouse established through Popta's will, providing accommodation for unmarried and widowed women since the early 18th century.
Guided tours operate from July to August, Monday through Saturday between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with adult admission costing 7.50 euros.
Following the specific instructions in Popta's will from 1712, the manor remains uninhabited and is managed by a group of four designated guardians.
