Ewijckshoeve, Neoclassical estate and park in Den Dolder, Netherlands
The Ewijckshoeve is a neoclassical house with a symmetrical front and mansard roof located in Zeist. The main building includes residential rooms and an adjoining coach house that was later converted for living space.
The house was built in 1690 by Justus van Ewijck and was rebuilt in 1830 in neoclassical style after a fire destroyed it. The reconstruction kept the original foundation and architectural language.
The name comes from the Van Ewijck family who shaped the property's character. Visitors can see how the rooms reflect the tastes and habits of those who once lived here.
The estate is located on Soestdijkerweg in Zeist and is surrounded by paths and green areas. Access to the grounds may depend on current conditions, so it is worth checking before visiting.
A Dutch royal prince later had the formal gardens transformed into an English landscape park. This change shows how garden styles shifted during the 19th century.
