Nienoord"
estate. The estate was founded in 1508. After a destroying fire, a new manor-house was built in 1887. The gardens and the
shell grotto were restored. The National
Carriage Museum is located in this manor-house. In 1958 the National Carriage Museum rented the house and gardens. The National Carriage Museum presents an overall view of the various types of carriages and
sleighs from the 18th to the 20th century. The 250 coaches in the museum's collection were used by farmers, the common man, noblemen and royalty. In the estate is situated a recreation park (Family-park Nienoord) with
model railways in several scales, including
live steam. In
Tolbert and
Midwolde are churches from the 12th century. The churches are built in the
Romano-Gothic style. Typical for this style are the walls and gables of brick that are richly decorated with recesses and patterns of bricks. In the church of Midwolde is a tomb monument sculpted by
Rombout Verhulst. Rombout Verhulst also decorated the tomb of
Michiel de Ruyter in the
Nieuwe Kerk in
Amsterdam. == Population centres ==
