Rijksdorp, Residential hamlet in Wassenaar, Netherlands

Rijksdorp extends across 103 hectares of land near the dunes, featuring 139 predominantly detached houses surrounded by landscaped gardens and woodland areas.

The settlement dates back to the 14th century when it consisted of a dwelling with 10 margins, functioning as a fief of the Wassenaar municipality.

The area transformed into a villa park in 1920 following architectural designs by Co Brandes, establishing a new residential concept for the Dutch upper class.

The neighborhood contains 175 households with an average property value of 1,864,000 euros, situated within convenient distance to medical facilities and schools.

During World War II, German forces constructed a military command complex with reinforced concrete bunkers between De Haven and De Witte Hoogt villas.
