The farm Omtadaburgh near 't Zandt anno 2011
The Omtadaburgh is a monumental farmhouse located on the former castle of Ompteda castle northeast of 't Zandt in the Dutch province of Groningen. Description
The former Ompteda castle was probably demolished in the 18th century, presumably after 1747. The original owners, members of the Ompteda family, had no longer been in the castle since the end of the 17th century. The owners of the farm carried the name Omta in 1811. In 1851, Derkje Luilfs Edema, widow of Willem Derks Omta, gave the assignment to build a new farm at the site of the former castle site. Her son Luilf Willems Omta introduced a front house in 1867, probably on the old foundation of the demolished castle. The house was built in a craft-traditional style, incorporating neoclassical elements. In 1871 the farm, with the exception of the front door, was lost by fire. A new big three-piece barn was built. In 2005, the farm's barn was destroyed again by fire. Also this time the house remained.
The Omtadaburgh is recognized as a national monument, partly because of its cultural and architectural value, its location in the historic castle area and as an example of a deviant design of a farm built in the second half of the 19th century. 53° 22′ 21″ NB, 6° 47′ 18″ OL
