Uithuizen has its origins on a kwelder wall. With the development of house mounds, raised to accommodate one house, the centre gradually grew into a real village mound. These days the village is proud to own one of the 16 remaining borgs (stately homes dating from jonker times) in Groningen, the Menkemaborg. You are warmly invited for tea by the family.

Urnes stave church is considered to be the queen of stave churches, and is one of the four Norwegian cultural heritage sites to be found worthy of being included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Consequently, this church is one of Norway¿s most significant contributions to the world heritage. It was built in 1130, but the world-famous carvings on the north wall date from an even earlier church.
