Vechtvliet, Country estate on Vecht River in Breukelen, Netherlands

The symmetrical mansion features classical Dutch architecture with a central hall, two wings, and statues of Atalante and Meleager on the facade.

Amsterdam merchant Willem van den Broeck commissioned architect Philips Vingboons to design this estate, which was constructed around 1670 along the Vecht River.

The estate represents the period when wealthy Amsterdam merchants established summer residences along the Vecht River during the Dutch Golden Age.

The property contains a main building, service quarters, and Klein Vechtvliet, which served as a coach house with stables for the estate.

The estate maintained strict family ownership for fifty years due to a legal stipulation in Willem van den Broeck's will before its first public sale.
