Facts and practical information

Manningaburg in Pewsum, surrounded by a wide graft, was originally a chieftain's seat of the East Frisian Manninga family, who were also lords of Lütetsburg, Jennelt and Westeel. In 1565, Hoyko Manninga sold the lowland castle as well as the Pewsum mill to Count Edzard II of East Frisia and his wife Katharina of Sweden. Only the outer castle remains of the original castle complex.
