Bench in memory of Margaretha Isabella van Ittersum (1783-1809) She loved to read and write and has kept a diary since she was 11 years old.
On the bench is an open book with the following text:
I do not flatter myself that the events of my life are of any importance to anyone. I only write them down for fun and because it seems better to me to write my own history. better than making one up. At least now what I write is true.

Isabelle or Belle kept diaries from the moment she could write. After the early death of her mother, she lived with her grandmother in Leeuwarden. From the age of 15 she lived with her father Jasper Gerrit van Ittersum on the Reelaer and there she combined all her previous writings into a new diary 'Histoire', which she kept until her death.

The location is formally only accessible on foot and only between sunrise and sunset. The bench is located about 200 meters from the Schaarhoekweg, where there is also room to park 2-3 cars.
