Fogelsangh State - Feankleaster
At the site of Fogelsangh State or nearby, there is a 12th century Norbertine monastery, the Mount of Olives. At the time of the Reformation, the monastery became the property of the States of Friesland. Theodorus van Fogelsangh is the first private owner, he buys the lot in 1639. After him, the property always remains within the family. Today the Van Harinxma thoe Slooten family owns it. To the south of the house is a large-scale park in a landscape style, designed in the 40s of the 19th century by Lucas Pieters Roodbaard and landscaped by Lambertus Vlaskamp. It is a large walking park with winding paths, watercourses and ponds, woods and a deer park with a wooden deer house. On the 30 meter high Modderberg there is a tea house and in the southeast corner a hermitage, a hermit hut, with a wooden hermit.
