It is a UNESCO world heritage site

De Stenen Man is a sculpture erected in Harlingen in 1576. This state-protected monument, with the Frisian name "De Stiennen man," stands on the Westerzeedijk, where Harlingen's beach is today. In 1576, the area was hit by severe flooding, which was given the name "All Saints' Flood."

The Stone Man on the Westerzeedijk in Harlingen is a replica of a monumental boundary marker that was placed in 1576 to mark the center of the Vijfdeelenzee dikes. This Renaissance-style border marker was inspired by the Roman gods Terminus, of the border, and Janus, of the beginning and the end. The official name was Terminus, but popular usage turned it into Stone Man.

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.

A beautiful place that you should definitely discover as a break from your cycling tour. Park your bike and explore the picturesque alleys on foot!

Great place, lots to see.

The Planetarium Room is what it's all about at the Eise Eisinga Planetarium. The model of the sun with the 6 planets revolving around it still works. This makes it the oldest working planetarium in the world.
