Rusthoven, Architectural complex in Wirdum, Netherlands.

The Rusthoven estate includes a residential mansion and a former brick factory situated along the Damsterdiep river in Groningen province.

Johan Eeck, mayor of Groningen, established the estate in 1686 as a summer residence, which later transformed into a brick manufacturing facility in the 19th century.

The property maintains its function as both a private residence and a guesthouse, allowing visitors to experience the heritage of Dutch country estates.

The estate underwent substantial reinforcement work to protect against regional earthquakes through the installation of base isolation systems and deep foundation piles.

The former brick factory section houses several bat species in its ring oven structure, combining industrial heritage with natural habitat preservation.
