De Beerenclaauw, Manor estate in Groessen, Netherlands.
De Beerenclaauw is a manor estate located in Groessen with white plastered walls, a pitched roof, and a square extension on its western side. The building sits within agricultural land and forms a typical rural compound of the Dutch countryside.
A medieval house once stood on this site before being replaced in 1898 by the current building. The new structure was commissioned by Christina Josepha Theodora Maria Hoevel and has defined the estate's appearance since then.
The name carries meaning rooted in the local language and landscape, reflecting connections to the surrounding land that shaped this place. Visitors today encounter a building that still embodies the connection between its inhabitants and the agricultural environment.
The estate is located at Beerenclaauwstraat 8 in Groessen and is protected as a national monument. Visitors should note that the property is visible from outside but remains on private grounds.
The name refers to birch trees that once grew on the sandy ground here and shaped the landscape. Today this botanical origin remains preserved in the place name, even though the surrounding vegetation has changed.
