Overcinge, Manor house in Havelte, Netherlands.
Overcinge is a manor house in Havelte, a stone building with wooden sculpted heads on the front gate and stone lions holding shields above the entrance. The estate is surrounded by parkland and accessed via a moat crossed by a drawbridge.
The original building was constructed between 1630 and 1642 by Wolter Kymmell. It underwent major renovations before 1732 and received additional modifications around 1854.
The oak staircase inside displays craftsmanship from 17th century Dutch traditions. These hand-carved details reflect the building methods and artistic choices of that period.
The property has eight guest rooms that accommodate up to 24 people, with separate meeting spaces for conferences, weddings, and events. Visitors should check availability and booking requirements in advance.
The property features a moat with an operational drawbridge connecting it to the surrounding parkland. This medieval defensive feature has rarely survived intact at manor houses in this region.
