4.0Franeker City Hall(50 reviews) - Beautiful Building in a small town Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Government Buildings
Visited Franeker as part of tour of my ancestral roots. The town was clean, easy to walk and interesting. The City Hall was an unexpected treat. It was open for tours with printed material explaining the building, its additions and the function of the inside rooms.There was a docent who was welcoming and helpful but with limited English. There was no charge to tour the building.See more..
The Leeuwarden Railway Station started being used in 1863, with the opening of the Leeuwarden to Harlingen line. Quite a pretty station actually, also from the inside.See more..

4.0Gerechtshof(8 reviews) - A beautifull landmark in Leeuwarden Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Government Buildings
This building is dominating the Wilhelminaplein, straight in the centre of the city. The building is very well restored and a pearl of the square. Around the square is the leisure area and shopping area of Leeuwarden, a place that is worthwhile to visit.See more..
4.0Stadhuis van Dokkum(7 reviews) - Gezellige en mooi stadje Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Government Buildings
Een super gezellig plaatsje met gezellige eetgelegenheden en mooi om door te wandelen. Het Elfsteden keerpunt en een van de 11 fonteinen. In ieder plaats waar de Elfstedentocht door komt staat een andere fontein. We hebben er heerlijk geluncht en gewandeld. Heerlijke plek met prachtige huizen .See more..

5.0Crackstate(1 review) - Beautiful stately manor Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Points of Interest & Landmarks • Government Buildings Once the residence of the Crack family, now in use by the municipal Heerenveen administration. The building dates from 1648, the year the war with Spain ended. The architect was Willem de Keyser (Amsterdam, Holland). While severe classicism was the dominant style at the time, quite a lot of decoration was added to the upper part of the facade. Nearby was a prison that was also used by the Nazis during WOII to lock-up, torture and execute resistance fighters. For this reason among the older generation 'Crackstate' is still very much associated with the dramatic events during German occupation. There is a small memorial, where once the prison stood.See more..
