Wickenburgh, Medieval estate in 't Goy, Netherlands.

The fifteen-hectare estate includes a mansion, gardens, meadows, forested areas, and an ancient stone pigeon tower measuring twelve meters in height.

Originally named Westenstein and built before 1300, the structure underwent reconstruction in the fourteenth century and transformed from a motte castle into a country house.

The mansion hosts weddings, celebrations, and musical performances, featuring two preserved halls called the Salon and Herenkamer for gatherings up to fifty people.

Guided tours operate at scheduled times throughout the day, with the estate remaining open for visitors from 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM without entrance fees.

The stone pigeon tower contains 317 nesting boxes and stands as one of the oldest remaining structures of its type in the Utrecht region.
