Terp Hegebeintum: learning to look at a landscape

According to its own description, the Terp Hegebeintum visitor centre offers an exhibition on the Frisian landscape of terps (artificial dwelling mounds). The centre is also the starting point for a visit to the church and Harsta State.

Plan your visit ↗

Start down below

The permanent exhibition deals with terps and the digging away of terps. First look at how the presentation explains the landscape. That gives you words and images for what you will come across outside, without needing any prior knowledge of archaeology.

The church as part of the whole

The visitor information mentions the church on the terp, with hatchments (rouwborden) linked to Harsta State. Ask how visits to the church are arranged and what explanations are available. The church has a character of its own within the combination of sites.

A route with choices

Combination options are described for the centre, the church and Harsta State. You do not automatically have to visit everything in the same way. Ask about the time available, access and route before choosing a combination, especially if differences in level or walking are a factor.

Before you go

Check for temporary closures due to private hire. Monday visits for groups must be arranged well in advance.
