Overcingel, Protected mansion in Assen, Netherlands
The mansion features a main house, coach house, staff quarters, gardens with ornaments, park forests, meadows, and an orchard within five hectares of land.
Built in 1777 by Johannes van Lier, the receiver-general of Drenthe, the mansion remained in the Van Lier family ownership for seven consecutive generations.
The mansion contains a special room with golden leather paintings and a radio room where residents listened to wartime broadcasts during World War II.
Following renovations scheduled for completion in 2024, the mansion will open to the public with new facilities including apartments and a bed & breakfast.
The estate maintains a stinzentuin, a specialized garden featuring early spring flowers that draws numerous visitors during the blooming season.
