Small Frysian estate
An oasis of gently country life Dekema State, north of Leeuwarden, was first build during the 15th century. The moated house and its gardens are restored before the year 2000 and opened to public. The content of the house, with portrait-gallery, antique furniture and the treasures inherited from older generations, demonstrate the life style of a titeld family as it lived in Friesland until the 1930's.

Hidden little treasure
It's a beautiful little mansion. Started out in the middleages as a stronghold, but slowly evolved into a pleasant little "castle" very well kept, surrounded by beautiful gardens and biological vegetables gardens.

Well kept mansion, friendly and adequate staff
We visited the Dekema-state 10 days ago. It was a pleasant event, the early 20th cent. atmosphere in the premises was instructive, and the volunteer staff very helpful with explanations. They even speak Frisian, which I can not understand...Beautiful portraits by Van der Geest! One remark: in the information-booklet nothing is said about the date(s) the mansion was built. That should have been included.
