Frankendael, Country estate in Watergraafsmeer, Netherlands

Park Frankendael spans seven acres of land, featuring two distinct gardens, a marsh area, and sunbathing spaces near the historic main house.

Built in 1659 as a private residence, Frankendael remains the last surviving 17th-century country estate within Amsterdam's current municipal boundaries.

The main house, Huize Frankendael, hosts exhibitions, performances, and events throughout the year while maintaining its historical architectural character.

Visitors can reach the park using tram line 9 or bus line 41, with the main entrance located at Middenweg 721 in the eastern part of Amsterdam.

Two sculptures from 1714 by Ignatius van Logteren, depicting Roman deities Bacchus and Ceres, stand guard outside the main house.
