Huis te Voorn, Historic château near Leidse Rijn intersection, Utrecht, Netherlands.

The white plastered manor house stands at the beginning of a driveway leading to the former castle site, surrounded by landscaped grounds.

The earliest mention of Huis te Voorn dates back to 1395, when it was a farmstead with lands granted to Gerrit van Voorn.

In 1539, Huis te Voorn received recognition as a noble estate, leading to multiple expansions and architectural modifications throughout subsequent decades.

The estate occupies 8 hectares in a triangular shape, positioned west of the A2 motorway between Rhijnoord viaduct and Leidsche Rijn tunnel.

Two preserved dovecotes remain from the original 1851 castle demolition, standing on the island where the main structure once stood.
