The stins is known for the Pipenpoyse bruiloft, a series of paintings that were moved to a safe haven as part of a large collection before the castle was demolished in 1824.

[1] A romanticized historiography from the 16th century assumes that the history of the Liauckama family begins with the crusaders Eelko and Sicko in 1096.

These two cousins belonged to the Frisian nobles who participated in the First Crusade and were knighted after the conquest of Jerusalem.

This concerns Eelco Liauckama (c. 1270–1332), who was born on the estate, abbot of the Lidlum monastery, the later Klooster-Lidlum near Tzummarum.

[5] Because the Liauckama family had remained Roman Catholic throughout history, the abbot was held in honour by them.

[6] Only from the end of the 14th century is the estate mentioned by name and its written history begins with Schelte Liauckema.

Schelte belonged to the party of the Vetkopers and was an important ally of Albert I, Duke of Bavaria.

[6] They had two children, namely Schelte (II), who was supposedly married to Tieth thoe Nijenhuisen and died in Sexbierum in 1479, and Trijn.

When he died, the possessions would not pass to his wife, but directly to the eldest in line of the surviving Liauckama descendants.

[6] Even though the Liauckamastate was equivalent to a castle in terms of defensibility and had thirty soldiers on duty, it was captured by gangs of the Vetkopers in 1498.

Around 1500, they were the local authority in the village of Sexbierum: they controlled the poor relief, water management, corn mill, and exercised swan rights.

[8] Because the Catholic Liauckama family had chosen the side of the Spanish king during the Dutch Revolt, they lost their political power.

Because the Catholic Liauckema family was on the side of the Spanish,[8] the estate was set on fire in 1580 by the Geuzen troops of Diederik Sonoy.

[12] The estate was subjected to a large-scale restoration after the attack of 1580, during which a new chapel, kitchen, and gatehouse were built.

This in spite of Sjouck's eldest brother, Jarich van Liauckema, who appealed to wills in which the name Liauckama would have priority in the inheritance of the estate.

[11] With him, the Liauckama family died out - at least from a patriarchal point of view - because his only brother Sicke (1562–1638), who was also born at Liauckamastate in 1562, had become a clergyman.

[19] Because Van der Laen also died childless, the land was transferred to his brother Erard Theodoor and then to his cousin and namesake Alexander Joseph II who lived there around 1718.

[20] For the purpose of inventory, carpenter Baas Schaaf mapped out the building and J. Amersfoordt wrote a report describing, among other things, the many paintings that were in the estate.

[24] In 1947, the farm was bought by Rients Bruinsma, leader of a resistance gang during the Second World War, known as the Knokploeg Sexbierum.

Before he transferred the business to his son and retired, Rients Bruinsma had the house built on the former estate grounds.

She sold the building in 1986 to Gosse Bloem from Woerden, who restored the farm over the years and set up a restaurant, guesthouse, and conference centre.

As with most Frisian stinsen, the building consisted of two wings at right angles to each other, with a staircase tower in the corner.

[31] A bridge connected the outer bailey to the actual house, where the entrance tower was built on the east side.

[16] The southernmost room consisted of two oak box beds with large doors and carvings.

In the Toren Sekreet there were three heavy beams with carvings, on which the year 1602 and the coat of arms of Camstra were placed.

[32] The castle contained large cellars and a dungeon with a trapdoor, accessible directly from the entrance gate.
