Kasteel Geerestein, Medieval castle in Woudenberg, Netherlands
The U-shaped castle features white plastered walls, a neoclassical design, and stands within a landscaped estate with a grand canal.
Built between 1394 and 1402 by Jacob van Zuylen van Nijevelt, the castle underwent significant modifications in 1834 under Hendrik Daniel Hooft's direction.
The estate includes ten national monuments, combining French formal gardens with straight oak avenues and English landscape style with winding paths.
The castle now functions as office space, housing an architectural firm and a bicycle manufacturer, and remains closed to public access.
The property contains a children's house built in Swiss chalet style between 1835 and 1850, featuring a small stable with a Greek temple front.
