EISE EISINGA PLANETARIUM

In a splendid Frisian house, situated on the edge of a canal, you can visit the oldest planetarium in the world. It was built between 1774 and 1781 by the amateur astronomer Eise Eisinga, actually a wool carder. It is still located in the house where it was designed. This creation results from the will to counter the announcement of the end of times by a local pastor who sowed panic in the population. A will to counter the fake news and the religious ramblings of the time... We note the absence of Uranus for lack of space.
