The first stone of the double stolp farm was laid on 2 April 1879 by J. Spaans. There was already a stolp called 'Kieftenburg' on the Hogebierenweg, but it burned down in 1878. It is uncertain where the name of the farm comes from. In West Friesland a lapwing is called a 'kieft', but it is derived from 'kiften' or to quarrel. The name 'Kieftenburg' has been around for centuries.

B&B Heeringhuusen is located in the completely renovated double West Frisian farmhouse, located in the village of Haringhuizen, just a few kilometers from Schagen.
