Huis Torenvliet, Country estate in Middelburg, Netherlands.

The white manor house at Toorenvliedt stands on the Koudekerkseweg, featuring architectural elements from the eighteenth century and decorative facades.

Built in 1726 outside the city limits of Middelburg, the estate served as German headquarters for the Atlantikwall during World War II.

Historian Johan Huizinga wrote his book 'Herfsttij der Middeleeuwen' at Toorenvliedt in 1919 while staying with the Schorer family.

The public park surrounding the estate includes a bunker trail, an open-air theater, a labyrinth, and a bird rescue center.

The estate's perimeter fence displays statues created by artist Peter de Jong, adding artistic elements to the historical property.
