From farmer to European Commissioner.

In the municipality of Oldambt in Blauwestad is the life-size statue of Sicco Mansholt in honor of his centenary of birth.

Blauwestad Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

An interesting neighborhood. From the observation tower you have a nice overview. The bridges here are spectacular. The drive alone is worth it. There are some nice cafes at the port.
