The first stone building on the site of current Epemastate was built in the 13th century, but it was demolished already around 1450. The current mansion was built between 1620-1625 by Albada family. The English park was founded in 1825. Today Epemastate offers restaurant and wedding services.

Hello, can you tell me why it is called the Epema State? Who were the first owners of this place? I was just wondering because my Great Great Grandparents from that area were Epema;s. I actually found my Great Great Grandfathers tombstone while visiting. We are from the USA. It was amazing. Thank you. cynthiakayhammer@gmail.com

Beautiful building and nice to walk around. Free parking right next to it.

September 27 we would have our wedding here. Now we received a message yesterday that there had been a fire on the estate last week so that it could not go on, but have a nice day. It now appears that there has been no fire at Epemastate but 30 km away at the farmhouse of the owner of the castles. When we asked the "concierge" Rombout about this, we got back the sentence thank you for your understanding. But we don't understand at all. Should the staff help deposit a new foundation with the owner? The new managers of the castle (Ids and partner) who would arrange the catering for us have also said nothing at all. Messages are read but nothing is responded to. Our wedding has now fallen into the water, but these people are not at all concerned with their customers and have the empathy of a robot. Don't book anything here! The location is beautiful but the staff is completely unfriendly and incompetent to say the least.

Beautiful condition, unique in the Netherlands. It houses offices. Also used as a wedding location. Guided tour on Saturdays and during the week by appointment.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
