Blikkenburg, 19th-century château and Rijksmonument in Zeist, Netherlands
Description
Blikkenburg is a classical white manor house in Zeist set within a landscaped park designed by Karel George Zocher. The building and grounds display the typical features of a 19th-century Dutch estate.
History
A medieval castle originally stood here, used by the Van Wulven family as a knight's seat. The original structure was destroyed, but later a new manor house was built to continue the site's history.
Culture
The estate takes its name from a medieval fortress that once occupied this location. Visitors can sense the connection to the past through the classical architecture and the way the grounds are maintained.
Practical
The paths through the grounds are well-maintained and easy to walk, with parks that encourage strolling. Visitors should allow time for a full walk around the gardens to discover all the different areas.

A merchant named Cornelis Schellinger bought the property in the 18th century and offered land to a religious community to settle nearby. This generous offer led to the founding of a new community that shaped the area.
