They do not have a car, do not have the time, do not have the patience or simply do not want take the effort. In this case, Marsum is the perfect location to visit.

Marsum is a Frisian village located 6 kilometers away from Leeuwarden (ten minutes by car).

Those historical attributes can be found in the historical centre of the village, representing the rich and interesting history of the village. These remainders include buildings, attractions and landmarks. One of the most significant historical possessions of Marsum is the church. It dates back from 1200, when it was dedicated to the holy Pontianus. The church is in good condition, as it has been frequently restored throughout the years and can be found. The church can be viewed in picture 2. Another one of Marsums treasures is the Poptaslot, which is a house that was built in the early 1500s. This building has served as a summer residence for its owner and a woman’s home for widows and other single woman and is so highly valued because it is one of the few houses that are still standing, dating back from that time. Picture 3 and 4 show the Poptaslot from different angels.
