About Martena state
Koarnjum

Estate Martena State is a historical place in Friesland, the history here goes back a long way. Around 1400 Sytze Martena lived here. In the following centuries the castle remained in the possession of the Martena programs.

The last occupant of the slot was originally Esquire Duco Martena of Burmania Vegelin of Claerbergen. He wore the old state at the end of the nineteenth century to the Reformed Church in Koarnjum. It decided in 1899 to demolish Martena State because of the impoverished state it.

Architect Willem Cornelis de Groot from Leeuwarden built the current slot, idyllically situated on an island in the park pond. The eye-catcher of the miniature castle in neo-Renaissance style is undoubtedly the 'sipel`, the onion-shaped roof of the tower. The church has been Martena State in leasehold to the Martena State Foundation and enjoy the protected status as a national monument.

Numerous historic items around the property to detect. Numerous historical points A good example is the gateway, with Baroque features, from 1620 once graced this port Landscape House in Leeuwarden. Halfway through the 19th century moved the gate to Martena State.

The old burial mound Martena State is definitely worth a visit. The tumulus is in tact remained completely through the ages, something not common in Friesland. On the mound, you will find the family tomb of family Vegelin of Claerbergen. The mound is the eastern side of the nature camping, bordered by many monumental beeches
