Coendersborg Nuis

Highlight • Historical Site

The Coendersborg in Nuis was created by merging the Fossemaheerd, Harkemaplaats and Heringheplaats. The current borg was built in 1813 on the site of the former Fossemaheerd. In 1534, Hemko IJpens Harkema, sworn judge in the western part of Vredewold, became the owner of the Ooster Fossemaheerd through an exchange with Sywert Fossuma.
