about us
Become a friend
Since its foundation in 1998, the Association of Friends of the Fraeylemaborg Estate (‘Vereniging van Vrienden van Landgoed Fraeylemaborg’) has been committed to preserving the borg and the estate. We do this through an annual donation and through cooperation with stakeholders who want to protect this unique heritage. For just €25.00 a year you can become a Friend of the Borg and with a one-time donation of at least €500.00 you become a Friend for Life. Additional contributions are most welcome!
You can read more about the different forms of friendship we offer in our Friends folder (in Dutch).
