Nijenhuis, Manor estate in Diepenheim, Netherlands.

The Nijenhuis estate spans approximately 200 hectares and includes a main building with four towers, agricultural structures, an orangery, and a tea house.

First documented in 1380 as a vassal property of the Bishop of Utrecht, Nijenhuis underwent major architectural changes in 1662 based on designs by Philips Vingboons.

The estate represents Dutch architectural evolution through centuries, with the main building combining elements from 17th, 18th, and early 20th century modifications.

While the buildings remain private residences closed to public access, visitors can explore the grounds through walking paths and dedicated cycling routes around Diepenheim.

Since 1799, the Schimmelpenninck family has maintained continuous ownership of Nijenhuis, including Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck, who served as Grand Pensionary of the Batavian Republic.
