Fogelsanghstate

Fogelsanghstate is an estate and museum in the Netherlands featuring a large landscape park with winding paths, water streams, ponds, and forest areas. A deer enclosure with a wooden deer house and several historic buildings are part of the grounds.

The estate began as a site of a Premonstratensian monastery dating to the 12th century, but became private property when Theodorus von Fogelsangh purchased it in 1639. The grounds underwent several transformations and evolved into the park and museum property seen today.

The property holds the status of a protected national monument and displays regional artwork and historical collections. Visitors can see furniture, paintings, and objects that reflect how people lived in this house over centuries.

The grounds are open on most days, though the interior of the house is only accessible during the warmer months. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the park offers many paths for walking.

The property contains the Modderberg, a notable hill within the park landscape with a tea house at its peak. Hidden in the southeastern part of the grounds is a small hermitage that adds to the area's character.
