Huis Zuidwijk, Nature area in Wassenaar, Netherlands
The Zuidwijk estate spans nineteen hectares of land, featuring formal water elements, ancient trees, and winding paths along the eastern side of Rijksstraatweg.
Originally established as a fiefdom in 1406, the estate included a castle with two towers before the Van Wassenaer Obdam family acquired it in 1633.
The property maintains strong connections to Dutch nobility through the Van Wassenaer Obdam family, who commissioned formal gardens and architectural improvements throughout the centuries.
The estate, managed by Stichting Twickel foundation, includes protected buildings such as the main house, outbuildings, and gardener's cottage, though access remains restricted.
Emperor Joseph II visited the estate in the 1770s, declaring its elevated position provided the finest view across Holland at that time.
