Backershagen, Historic estate in Wassenaar, Netherlands.
The Backershagen estate spans across green grounds with formal gardens, water features, a shell grotto, and various parkland sections designed in different periods.
The estate originated in 1726 when Cornelis Backer and Maria Clara van der Hagen built a mansion next to a 15th-century farmhouse called Capoenswoning.
The estate design reflects Dutch garden architecture evolution from geometric baroque patterns to English landscape style through centuries of careful planning.
Visitors can access the estate grounds through an iron gate at the bridge near Rijnlands Lyceum via Backershagenlaan in Wassenaar.
The estate contains a shell grotto from 1775, constructed as an artificial ruin beneath a hill, representing period garden architecture.
