Fryslân's Absolute Essentials
Fryslân’s landscape is defined by its centuries-old relationship with water and engineering. This collection features the UNESCO-listed Wouda Pumping Station, the massive Afsluitdijk causeway, and historic windmills like the Himriksmole. Architectural highlights include Leeuwarden’s leaning Oldehove tower and the medieval Skierstins, the province's only remaining fortified tower house.
