Landgoed Dordwijk

Landgoed Dordwijk is an estate and architectural ensemble in Dordrecht that combines natural landscapes with designed gardens. The grounds feature several buildings from different periods connected by winding paths and water features.

The property was established in the 1630s as a country residence and remained one of the significant estates in the region. In the 19th century, the grounds were reshaped through English landscape design practices.

The property displays architectural elements from different periods that reflect its long development over time. These structures tell of changing tastes and ways of living across several generations.

Access to the property is limited to organized guided tours run by IVN Nature Education, as independent public visits are not permitted. Visitors should check in advance for available tour schedules and access requirements.

This estate is the last fully intact property of its kind on the island of Dordrecht and preserves its original design throughout. Its gardens and building groups represent a rare example of Dutch landscape style evolution.
