The Utisma family had possessions in Friens in 1410. Before 1543, the stins Beslinga State was built. In 1828, it is owned by Baron van Sytzama who replaced the stins with a larger manor house. Van Sytzama died in a traffic accident in 1843, and there were no buyers for the estate, therefore, it was demolished in 1849.
