Huize Voorwijk, Protected mansion in De Wijk, Netherlands.

The mansion features connected outbuildings and a circular wall that forms an enclosed courtyard at the front section of the property.

Wyncko Tonckens, a lawyer and patriot, constructed this mansion in 1791 using inheritance funds from his uncle Warmolt Lunsingh.

The residence represents the architectural preferences of wealthy families in Drenthe during the late 18th century, with design elements typical of that period.

The mansion remains a private residence without public access, situated on Dorpsstraat 4 in the village of De Wijk, De Wolden municipality.

Former owners established a specialized stud farm on the property focusing on breeding Akhal-Teke sport horses while restoring the mansion.
