HISTORY OF THE KIPPENBURG MANOR
Baron Oncko van Swinderen (1775 - 1850) from Groningen built the Kippenburg manor house around 1830. There he also founded a chicken yard, to which this name refers. Oncko's father came from Groningen, his mother came from the Frisian van Wyckel family, who had many properties in Gaasterland. Six generations later, the house is still owned by a direct descendant, Jkvr. A.M.J. by Panhuys. From about 1854 to 1985 Kippenburg was used as a guest house/inn. Partly due to its beautiful location in the green heart of Gaasterland, this was one of the most famous resorts in Friesland. Nowadays the villa can be rented in its entirety for groups. Both the exterior and the layout of the building are largely unchanged.
Kippenburg is a National Monument and NSW property. The property is surrounded by the Star Numan and Lycklama forests, among others. The surrounding forests previously belonged to the family. (Friesland.nl)

Bell chair
Highlight • Monument
Bell chair from 1989 in the tower of the St. Martin's Church in Gennep
The church and bell tower of Tjalleberd, Atlas Schoemaker: Friesland, 1710-1735
The church and bell tower of Terwispel, Atlas Schoemaker: Friesland, 1710-1735
In masonry church towers, the need to install a bell tower soon arose once an assembly of shutter bells had been built. The ringing of these bells caused cracks in the tower body. That is why various oak constructions were developed that conducted the vibrations downwards well and could still support the weight of the movable bells, which sometimes weigh more than 500 kilos each.
