Huis Oog in Al

Huis Oog in Al is a Dutch Baroque estate in Utrecht with symmetrical architecture and ornate interior spaces. The main house is surrounded by carefully designed gardens and parkland.

The estate was founded in 1664 by Jonkheer Everard Meijster and reflects the architectural choices of wealthy merchants of that era. Its position along the Leidsche Rijn was a desirable location for properties of this kind.

The name refers to the estate's distinctive appearance and its setting within the Dutch countryside landscape. Visitors today can experience how the place was designed to stand apart from the city.

Visitors can explore the grounds on marked paths and join organized tours throughout the year. It is wise to check in advance when interior spaces are open, as they are not always accessible to the public.

In the park established in 1920, a German World War II bunker remains from that era. The grounds are also home to free-roaming fallow deer and peacocks that add life to the estate.
