Uniastate

These 2 photos were taken from the train passing the small vilage of Bears, located between Leeuwarden and Mantgum. A few centuries ago the notable Unia family lived here in their castle.

When their home was demolished in 1756 the estate was left abandoned for hundreds of years, and in the end only the original entrace gate survived the times. Around the year 1990 the idea came to "rebuild" the castle, and on the same spot where once the walls were, a life-size steel replica arose like an illusion or fata morgana. It is called 'Uniastate' and can be visited.

Waiting

Travelling

A train ride means being online non-stop for many of us.
