Eysinga Museum House

Huis van Eysinga is an impressive 18th-century city villa that was inhabited by the family of one of the most prominent men of his time: Frans Julius Van Eysinga.

Enter Huis Van Eysinga

Discover the stories of the residents and the staff of this chic Frisian mansion in Louis XIV style. 

View the beautifully furnished rooms, featuring original stucco and wood carvings, decorated ceilings, wallpaper painted with landscapes, and marble floors. What makes this unique is that you get to experience the house just as the family did. For a moment, you can imagine yourself as the resident.

Look in the cupboards and peek behind doors. And are you curious how the Eysinga family entertained themselves? Then play a game at the gaming table just like them, cut out your own silhouette portrait, or try on the man of the house's wig. Have a cup of tea in the Great Hall, one of the most beautiful rooms in the house, where the family used to enjoy music, among other things.

Walk with the audio tour through the secret passages of the house to the staff quarters, such as the kitchen. If you are lucky, fresh cookies will be coming out of the oven. In the basement, you can see how the staff did the laundry, and in the polishing room, it is as if you can still smell the floor polish.
