Description

A little further on, beautiful, carefully restored warehouses and patrician houses adorn the picturesque skyline on the harbor of Harlingen. Via the gatehouse of the Liauckema State you cycle to Franeker, an Eleven Cities town with many historic buildings. Note the bell gable of the Planetarium (1774), where Eise Eisinga built a working model of the solar system in his living room. Kimswerd stretches out on two sides of the Harlingervaart. It has been inhabited since the seventh century. Terp villages like this are characteristic of the Frisian landscape. Centuries ago, the sea in the salt marsh landscape left behind more silt in some places than in others: raised areas where it was safe to build. St. Laurentius Church has a Romanesque tuff stone nave dating from the 11th century.
