Anyone visiting Northeast Friesland really should not miss a trip to Peasens-Moddergat. Poles on the mudflats in Moddergat The village is known for its rich fishing history, the impressive Wadden Dyke, the beautiful view over the UNESCO World Heritage Site the Wadden Sea, and the excellent walking and cycling opportunities.

Where is Peasens-Moddergat located? Peasens-Moddergat is located in the municipality of Noardeast-Fryslân on the north coast of Friesland. The village consists of the former fishing settlements of Peasens and Moddergat, which have grown together over the centuries. From Herberg Het Rechthuis, you can reach the village in about twenty minutes. Along the way, you drive through a characteristic Frisian landscape with historic farmhouses, vast meadows, and centuries-old mound villages. Its location on the Wadden Sea makes Peasens-Moddergat unique. Here you experience the ebb and flow of the tides up close and discover one of the most special nature reserves in the Netherlands. An impressive history For centuries, the inhabitants lived from fishing. The Wadden Sea was their source of income, but it also brought great dangers. The history of the village is primarily defined by the disaster of March 5 and 6, 1883. During a severe northwesterly storm, many fishermen did not return home. In total, 83 fishermen from the region lost their lives. This tragedy has left deep scars on the village. The disaster is still commemorated and forms an important part of the identity of Peasens-Moddergat. During a walk through the village, you will see various monuments and historic homes that serve as reminders of this event . Open air museum 't Fiskershúske The open-air museum ' t Fiskershúske : life on the Wadden Sea A visit to the open-air museum ' t Fiskershúske is highly recommended. In several authentic fishermen's houses, you will discover how families used to live. You will see original living rooms, bedrooms, fishing tools, traditional clothing, and personal stories from fishing families. The museum not only showcases history but also tells the story of daily life on the coast and the constant struggle against the elements. View over the wadden coast The Wadden Sea: UNESCO World Heritage Site The Wadden Sea lies directly behind the village. This nature reserve is one of the most extraordinary ecosystems in the world and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2009. The landscape changes constantly due to the tides. At low tide, enormous sandbanks form where thousands of birds search for food. At high tide, the coast transforms into a vast sea in which cloudy skies are beautifully reflected. No two days look the same in the Wadden Sea. It is precisely this dynamism that makes every visit unique.

When you step across the threshold of Herberg Het Rechthuis, you find yourself in the year 1650. Our monumental building breathes the history of Rinsumageast. For decades, it served as the legal and administrative heart of the Dantumadiel district; the place where the Grietman administered justice and passed severe sentences. The official coat of arms of Rinsumageast depicts four red castles. These symbolize the four noble estates or stinsen that adorned the village in the Middle Ages and early modernity. Although these imposing castles have disappeared from the Frisian landscape over the centuries, the intrigues, battles, and noble splendor live on within our walls. However, anyone looking at the hotel rooms in the inn will discover stories that go back much further in time. Our rooms proudly bear the names of these vanished monuments. The quarters, with their high ceilings and historical yet simple details, are reminiscent of the time of the Frisian nobility. Tjaarda The Tjaarda State (or Tjaerda) was by far the largest and most imposing manor in the village, situated directly east of the Alexander Church. Its history dates back to 1242 with Botte van de Gaast, but it was the powerful bailiff Syds Tjaerda who turned the manor into a political stronghold in the 15th century. The castle survived fierce conflicts: in 1515 it was conquered by the Gelders, and a year later the Burgundians burned the entire village to the ground, but the Tjaarda State was miraculously spared. It grew into a gigantic complex with two large halls, twenty rooms, deep cellars, and a wide moat. Until its eventual demolition in 1834, it stood as a symbol of absolute Frisian power. Melkema Melkema State has a rich noble tradition that is officially documented from 1439, when the estate came into the possession of the Sceltama family. It developed into a magnificent manor house with extensive orchards and avenues. In 1658, the state was extensively rebuilt by Sjoerd van Aylva, the then bailiff of Dantumadeel and councillor at the Court of Friesland. Van Aylva was a man of considerable standing who waged a fierce legal battle with the city of Dokkum over regional borders. In 1727, the estate was sold for demolition due to lack of funds. Although nothing remains of it above ground, the village's current ring road—the Melkemaweg—still honors this historic ground. Tekening Melkema State Eysinga The Eysinga State was built between 1200 and 1400 and housed the absolute top tier of the Frisian nobility. The first resident, courtier Feye Eysinga, set the tone for a true ruling dynasty. The residents were closely intertwined with the other estates; when the neighbor (Melkema State) was demolished, the Eysinga family bought the grounds to expand their own gardens into a fabulous, English-inspired park landscape. For generations, the family provided influential magistrates to the region. This noble glory came to an abrupt end in 1804 when a devastating fire completely reduced the estate to ashes. The Eysingawei in Rinsumageast serves as a reminder of this tragic history today. Tekening Eijsinga State Juwsma The history: The Juwsma State (also referred to as Jwsma hus or Juussma state in old writings) completes the historical quartet of Rinsumageast. In the 14th century, the Juwsma family shared a common ancestor with the Tjaardas, but the relationship between the branches was often strained. In the 15th century, Renic Juwsma served as grietman of Dantumadeel and hoveler 'up der Gaest'. The stins is strategically located to the west of the village and was often the scene of bloody feuds between the Schieringers and Vetkopers. The house eventually fell victim to these disputes and was razed to the ground by hostile troops from Leeuwarden and the jealous neighbors of the Tjaarda State.
