Castle
Nittersum
🇳🇱 Netherlands
Borg Nittersum was a borg (fortified manor) near the village of Stedum in the province of Groningen. It was said to be one of the most beautiful borgs of Groningen. Of the borg only the borgstee (the site) remains. The long driveway to the borg (the Borgweg) was later reconstructed and is clearly present in the landscape. A scale model of the borg made by Stedum native Frans van der Veen in 1972 is kept in the church of Stedum.
