The oldest part of the former court building is from the early 15th century. Wigbold Wigboldus became in 1477, the owner of the meters-high stone house. Until 1585, the building was owned by the prominent squire family Van Ewsum. The last Van Ewsum, Christoffer, was kind to the persecuted Mennonites and provided their wanted leader, Menno Simons, shelter.
