De Klencke, Manor estate in Oosterhesselen, Netherlands.
Description
De Klencke is a manor estate near Coevorden encompassing around 200 hectares with the main house, five farms, deciduous woodlands, heathland areas, and tree-lined avenues marked by ancient oaks. The entire property forms a connected landscape where different habitats blend together.
History
Herman van Welvelde purchased the property in 1558 and used his position in the Staten-Generaal to establish it as a center of regional influence. The estate became an important hub for local governance during this period.
Culture
This property holds the status of a havezate, a form of estate that granted its residents special rights within the regional community. The layout and design of the buildings still reflect these historical privileges that shaped life here.
Practical
The manor house itself remains privately owned, but visitors can follow a 9-kilometer walking route that starts at Klenkerweg to explore the grounds. The path takes you through different areas and makes it easy to see the full extent of the property.
Did you know?
The property includes the Klenckerveld, a heathland area maintained by grazing cows and heath sheep that keep the landscape open. This managed heathland supports populations of butterflies that are found nowhere else in the region.
