Havezate de Kamp

Havezate de Kamp is a manor estate in Neede located at Peppelendijk 8 and set within park grounds. The building displays traditional Dutch design with large windows and ornamental details across its exterior, characteristic of such rural estates.

The original structure dates from the 13th century but was replaced in 1636 by Otto Gansneb with a new manor house. Major modifications in the late 1700s removed the characteristic stepped gables that had marked the building's style.

The estate bears the name of a family with deep roots in the area, reflecting their long connection to this place. The building sits within the rural landscape as a symbol of landownership and local influence during the centuries when such estates dotted the Dutch countryside.

The estate is accessible via the cycling route called Rondje Neede, making it convenient to visit as part of a bike tour. A nearby park allows visitors to explore the grounds and surroundings at a leisurely pace.

Restoration work between 1983 and 1989 uncovered archaeological finds from earlier periods of occupation at the site. These artifacts are now displayed in an exhibition in the basement of the manor, revealing layers of the place's past.
