Friesland's Heritage Treasures

Friesland’s heritage is defined by architectural resilience and water management. This collection features the UNESCO-listed Wouda Pumping Station, the world's largest operational steam-powered station, alongside the leaning Oldehove tower and the 17th-century Waterpoort in Sneek. The selection spans medieval churches, historic drainage windmills, and the interwar defense bunkers of Stelling Kornwerderzand on the Afsluitdijk. These sites showcase the province’s history through social reform colonies, maritime lighthouses, and engineering feats designed to protect the land from the sea.
