        It is not a world heritage site for nothing. Astronomy and history in one. Eise Eisinga built his Planetarium between 1774 and 1781. The current position of the planets is displayed with an ingenious system of wheels and gears. It shows the lawful course of the planets, which fits in with the 8th century world view of the Enlightenment. The planetarium is fully functional and shows the current state of the planets.
