Rensumaborg

Rensumaborg is a rectangular mansion in Uithuizermeeden with a gabled roof covered in blue-glazed tiles and six-light empire windows set symmetrically on its front. The building displays four hip ridges and stands as a protected Rijksmonument.

The estate dates from around 1500 and underwent major renovations in 1710 after the Alberda family acquired the property in 1695. These works shaped the building's appearance as it exists today.

The name reflects the property's fortified origins and early ownership ties. Visitors today can observe how the exterior blends architectural choices from multiple periods into a single coherent design.

The interior is closed to the public, but you can walk around the exterior and grounds freely. The best time to visit is in clear weather so you can see the architectural details and surrounding landscape clearly.

The rear wall displays a Latin inscription in Louis XV style that encodes information about when the house was built and renovated. This hidden message shows how the owners wanted to record their building history in stone.
