Huys ten Donck, Estate and monument in Ridderkerk, Netherlands.
Huys ten Donck is an estate near Rotterdam with a broad brick structure and low side wings extending from the main building. It displays nine window sections across its facade and features decorative details in natural stone and brickwork.
The estate was built in 1746 as one of the last country properties constructed in the Rotterdam region. Its architectural form has remained largely unchanged since then, preserving the character of its original construction period.
The interior shows original wooden paneling and decorative plasterwork that reveal the tastes of its early residents. Paintings by an artist of that era decorate the rooms, reflecting the refined interests of those who once lived here.
The property can be experienced by visiting on special occasions or for gatherings in its historic spaces. Advance planning is recommended, as this is a private estate with limited open access.
The estate preserves old guest books dating to 1765 that record visits and stories from its inhabitants and visitors. These journals offer a window into more than two centuries of life at this property.
