Eerde, Baroque estate in Ommen, Netherlands.

The Eerde estate spans 1,667 hectares of forest land, featuring a classical castle with a moat and architectural elements from 1715.

The original castle from the 14th century was destroyed in 1380 by forces from the Archbishop of Utrecht during territorial conflicts.

During the 1930s, the castle served as a Quaker school for Jewish children seeking refuge from the Nazi regime in Germany.

Visitors can explore the estate grounds through marked walking trails, while castle tours require advance registration with certified guides.

The Regge River creates natural water channels throughout the forest, forming a network of streams that sustain the estate's ecosystem.
