Holiday apartment in Ulrum: Discover the twin-terp village, church and museum

Ulrum is a so-called twin-terp village with a clearly recognizable rectangular layout. The twin-terp settlement is of considerable archaeological value and gives the town a distinct, historically shaped setting for planning your trip. On the grounds of the former Asingaborg, the Borgstee, surrounded by moats and featuring a Baroque garden, was reconstructed as a walking park between 1985 and 1988. Those choosing a holiday apartment in Ulrum can therefore include the settlement form, garden complex and the theme of walking in their own plans.

Terps, waterways and routes through Ulrum

The waterway is also part of the local orientation: Ulrum can still be reached by water via the Hunsingokanaal. In addition, “Ulrum 1834” offers a village walking route connecting places associated with the history of Ulrum in 1834. If you are looking for a historical focus for your accommodation, you can include this route as a thematic way of exploring the town and consciously place the connection between village history and walking at the center of your plans.

The church and the town’s history

Kerk Ulrum, with its particular historical classification, is a prominent feature of the townscape. It is assumed to have been built around 1225 as a replacement for an older church on one of the terps; at the same time, it is an example of the first phase of Late Romanesque architecture. Kerk Ulrum contains an Asingabank dating from 1660. The Afscheiding began in 1834 from the church and parsonage complex in Ulrum and is associated with Ds. Hendrik de Cock. For you, this connection opens up several ways of exploring the town’s history without having to focus on just one subject area.

Museum de Eenhoorn

Museum de Eenhoorn is located on the outskirts of Ulrum in a former railway station that is a Rijksmonument. The collection at Museum de Eenhoorn includes more than 30 works by the painter and draughtsman Johfra. This adds another specific point of interest when choosing your holiday apartment: you can incorporate different interests into your trip planning, ranging from the archaeologically shaped town structure and church history to a museum visit.
