De Bockenhof Castle

De Bockenhof Castle is a farm estate featuring stone barns and multiple connected buildings that house both residential and agricultural functions. The complex is organized with various structures grouped around a central farmyard area.

The estate developed as a combination of manor house and working farm during a period of agricultural prosperity in the region. It gained official protection status as a heritage monument in 1966, securing its place in the Dutch registry of significant sites.

The property shows how Dutch farmhouses blended noble living quarters with working agricultural buildings that served generations of families. The arrangement of structures around a central courtyard reflects the practical needs of rural estate life.

The site is located in Beekdaelen municipality and can be accessed via Groot-Haasdal 1-3-5 address. Visitors should note this is a protected private property best viewed from accessible outdoor areas surrounding the buildings.

The farm takes its name from the van Bocken family who stewarded the estate for many generations. This connection between family and property remains embedded in the place name that has endured through the centuries.
