Huis Almelo

The Huis Almelo features stone construction with glazed roof tiles, marble columns at the entrance, and Italian fireplace mantels with gilded frames throughout the interior.

First mentioned in the 13th century, the original castle was replaced in 1652 by Zeger van Rechteren with a new brick structure that became central to the lordship.

The estate maintains its role as a representation of Dutch noble residences, reflecting architectural styles and social structures from different historical periods.

Located near the N349 highway, the house retains part of its original estate grounds, which visitors can explore through guided tours by prior arrangement.

Two ceremonial avenues were constructed around the property, with one encircling the house and another extending toward the city of Almelo.
