Valkenstijn, Manor estate in Assen-Oost, Netherlands
The Valkenstijn estate contains meadows, ancient trees, and water features, with the foundations of the former mansion visible in the landscaped grounds.
Constructed in the mid-17th century as Vredeveld house, the property changed ownership multiple times before Augustinus van Valkenstijn acquired it in 1842.
The private burial tomb of Augustinus van Valkenstijn and Louise Aubry d'Arancey remains the sole private burial location within Assen's boundaries.
The grounds offer walking paths through the estate, allowing visitors to explore the historical landscape and view the restored mansion foundation markers.
The iron gravestone, manufactured by the Asser Iron Foundry in 1882, displays death symbolism and marks the final resting place of the Van Valkenstijn couple.
