Description

Nienoord is an estate in Leek, which is known above all for the former borg Nienoord (historical name 't Huis de Nyenoort), on the site of which a 19th-century country house now stands. In addition, the Nationaal Rijtuigmuseum, the Zwemkasteel, a campsite and the Familiepark Nienoord are located on the estate. Historically the borg belonged to the village of Midwolde, but nowadays it is seen more as part of the village of Leek.
