An inn 🛌 kippenburg.nlHISTORY OF THE KIPPENBURG MANORBaron 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)
