Hofboerderij, Religious monastery in Wateringen, Netherlands
The Hofboerderij stands as a central structure in Hofpark, featuring traditional Dutch agricultural architecture with preserved medieval elements and stone foundations.
Originally established in 1485 as a Cistercian monastery through a donation by Hendrik IV van Naaldwijk, the complex burned down in 1573 during the Eighty Years' War.
The building now functions as a cultural center where local artists display their work through monthly exhibitions and theater performances throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the grounds every Saturday and Sunday from 13:30 to 16:30, except during August, with dedicated parking spaces and charging stations for electric bicycles.
The property maintains the historical right to keep swans in its moat, a privilege granted to Jacob Huygensz van der Dussen in 1589.
