A municipal building since the 19th century, this Baroque mansion was ordered by the grietman (roughly equivalent to a mayor) Johannes Sytzes Crack in 1648. In the Frisian tradition the name of the house is a portmanteau of the owner, Crack’s name and state (estate). The Crackstate is protected by a moat, crossed by a bridge built in 1775, with iro...

On the balustrade below the fine central dormer there are panels recordin...

Part of the Heerenveen Museum, but officially a separate attraction is this biographical collection dedicated to the first socialist in the Dutch parliament.

The Oranjewoud’s parkland has been open to the public since 1953. Dating from the 17th century, this as old as Oranjewoud, and was updated to stay fashionable, first in the Baroque style in the 18th century and then as an English landscape park in the 19th century. The park is a Dutch heritage site in its own right, and its canals and oak and beech...

The upper floors containing the mill’s machinery are thatched, while the lower levels are composed of brick and were heightened by six metres in 1898 to raise the sails above the surrounding build...
The local football team is one of those sides that like, say Athletic Bilbao, Bayern Munich or FC Barcelona, conjures a real sense of regional identity. SC Heerenveen’s crest is the flag of Frieslad, with diagonal blue and white stripes dotted with the “pompeblêd”, heraldic water lily leafs that look a lot like hearts. The Frisian national anthem, ...
