You're standing at Museum Martena, the town museum of Franeker. Take a good look at the building. This is the Martenastins, a fortified noble house from 1498, built for the Frisian nobleman Hessel van Martena. A stins is typically Frisian: a stone house for a wealthy family, at a time when most people still lived in wood.
