Schapenduinen, Protected mansion in Bloemendaal, Netherlands.

The L-shaped mansion features red brick walls, multiple projecting volumes, and a complex roofline with red clay tiles covering two stories and an attic.

Built between 1930 and 1932 for Jacob Bierens de Haan, the estate provided shelter to students and families during World War II and later served as a recovery center.

The entrance portico contains a 1942 keystone with carved illustrations depicting trees, sheep, and a shepherd, created by sculptor Nel Bakema.

The mansion includes 25 rooms, a service wing with a garage, and separate entrances from both Brederodelaan and Schultzlaan in Bloemendaal.

The property originated as grazing land for 150 Merino sheep from Spain, which inspired its name Schapenduinen, meaning sheep dunes.
