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.

The Former Weigh House
The Former Weigh House
A look at old photographs reveals that the building looks even more attractive today than its predecessor. The people of Kollum have taken good care of this historic landmark. The weigh house was a public building where goods could be officially weighed. Its presence was particularly important for trade in butter and cheese.
A public weigh house in Kollum is first mentioned in the 16th century. That original building stood next to the Rechthuis (courthouse). In 1779, a new weigh house was built here on the Westerdiepswal, at the heart of the bustling waterfront. The wide entrance to the former weighing hall, where two weighing scales were once installed, can still be clearly recognised in the façade.
The pediment above the façade bears the coats of arms and names, added in 1779, of grietman (district magistrate) Martinus van Scheltinga, his deputy Focke Hijlckes Eskes, and Albert Luitjens, who served together with Eskes as church warden. The building was owned by the Dutch Reformed Church, which leased out the weigh house. In 1871 it was sold to a private owner, after which an official weighmaster appointed by the municipality supervised its operation. With the rise of the dairy industry in Friesland, the weigh house gradually lost its function. In 1895, the building was converted into a private residence.
