Hoekelum

The estate spans 112 hectares, containing a historic mansion, park grounds, multiple outbuildings, and a network of forest paths next to ponds and waterways.

The estate dates back to 1396 when Randolph van Hoekelum, gamekeeper of the Duke of Guelders, received the land grant containing an existing older structure.

The mansion functions as both a wedding venue for the Ede municipality and a Lutheran retreat center, preserving its heritage through active community engagement.

Visitors can access the estate via parking at Edeseweg 124 in Bennekom or the Horalaan lot in Ede, with bus line 86 stopping at nearby stations.

The property includes an ice cellar that serves as a winter refuge for bats, while ancient earthworks throughout the grounds reveal historical land management practices.
