Pastoor House (Ferwerd)


The former Pastoor House at the Vrijhof 5 in Ferwerd

The Pastor House (Fries: It Pastoarshûs, Gritenij- or Right House) at the Vrijhof 5 in the Friese land Ferwerd is one of the oldest villages of the village and was originally the cottage of Ferwerd. History

The house at the Vrijhof 5 dates back to the late Middle Ages. There are still parts of the 16th century walls in the house. At that time it was the house of the pastor. After the reformation, it became the home of the local minister. Until 1723 the house was used as a parsonage. Thereafter, the property became jointly owned by Ferretderadeel and Allard van Burum of the Cammingha State. The grietenij established the so-called Rechtkamer, hence the Pastoorshuis is also called Rechthuis or Grietenijhuis. The grietenij acquired over the years the property of the entire house, which continued to function as a grietenijhuis until 1840. After a new grietenijhuis (from 1851 called Gemeentehuis) was built in 1840 on the corner of the Hogebeintumerdijk and the Marrumerweg was sold, the property was privately owned. In 1973 the house was bought again by the municipality, which allowed the property to be restored. Then the weather was sold again and again it was privately owned. Financial perils

In the 1781s and 1882s, Ferwerd soldiers, because of political politics, were uncertain. The grietenij turned up for the cost and borrowed money, 3600 guilders, at the recipient Lauerman. Part of the debt could be repaid, but in 1795 there was a remaining debt of 2400 guilders. The widow of Lauerman took possession of the grietenijhuis to sell the executory. This was prevented, but after years of legal proceedings, the municipality of Ferweradeel was sentenced in 1810 to pay the outstanding debt. 53° 20′ 19″ NB, 5° 49′ 26″ OL
