Nyenhuis
Nyenhuis
Nyenhuis was a prominent residence of influential Frisian families from the 15th century onwards and likely developed from a medieval stins. Little remains above ground of this noble past, but its history continues beneath the surface.
The name Nyenhuis refers to an earlier noble residence that probably originated around the 15th century. The Te Nyenhuys family owned a stins here, a stone defensive tower that later grew into a larger noble estate. This influential family maintained close ties with Ludingakerke Abbey.
At the end of the Middle Ages, the estate passed through marriage to the Liauckema family. After that, Nyenhuis was mainly leased as an agricultural farm. Little remains of the former noble buildings today, but the site still holds historical and archaeological significance.

Seventy evacuees from Arnhem and Limburg
Seventy evacuees from Arnhem and Limburg
The grave monument in Gytsjerkwas erected in memory of Maria v/d Heuij. Maria was one of seventy evacuees from Arnhem and Limburg who arrived in Gytsjerk on 22 January 1945. Maria died a day later, just a few months old. The harsh conditions during the trip had proved fatal to her. Maria did not live to see the liberation. Fortunately, many of the other evacuees with whom she undertook the journey did.
Symbolism
The monument's spiritual father, artist Klaas Bokma, chose two carts because this was the means of transport often used by evacuees. The four withered trees symbolise death. The cross is not only a symbol of the Christian faith, but also a reminder of the sacrifice made by war victims for a life of freedom.
The oldest pupils of Ichtus and Thrimwalda primary schools take care of this monument.
