Epema State is a ''[[stins]]'' which dated from before 1449. In 1651, it was bought by Doeke Martena van Burmania, the ''[[grietman]]'' (predecessor of mayor/judge) of [[Wymbritseradeel]] who extensively modified the estate in 1652 and constructed a gate house. In 1825, the estate was extensively modified and rebuilt in [[Second Empire style]]. In 1880, a dome was placed on the roof, but was removed soon after, because it was too heavy. In 1894, the estate was modified in [[Renaissance Revival]] style. The building is privately owned and serves as a residential home.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stinseninfriesland.nl/EpemaState.htm |title=Epema State |website=Stinsen in Friesland |access-date=7 April 2022 |language=nl}}</ref> The estate is surrounded by a large park.<ref name="wonder"/>
