Tips
Unlike the Menkemaborg and the Fraeylemaborg, Nienoord was not built on the remains of a stone house. Jonker Wigbold van Ewsum founded the borg in 1525 to exploit the peatlands in the area from there. It was called 'De Nijenoort', after the deposit 'Den Oord (or Oldenoord)' in Middelstum: groningerborgen.nl/borg/?cg%5Boid%5D=1003&cHash=9979d782a2b80871c4a6553deeed641b
