Evening shot of the Fraeylemaborg located in the Groningen village of Slochteren.
Fraeylemaborg is located on an estate of over 23 hectares. The borg building originated more than seven centuries ago and received its current appearance at the end of the 18th century. The park, partly designed by G.A. Blum and L.P. Roodbaard, was laid out in English landscape style. Remnants of the formal Baroque layout have been preserved. The borg was founded in the Middle Ages as a stone house and grew into an imposing building with influential residents. The last residents, the Thomassen à Thuessink van der Hoop van Slochteren family, sold the borg to the Gerrit van Houten Foundation in 1972. After restoration, the Fraeylemaborg became a museum. This photo was taken in January 2025.
