De Hooge Boekel, Cultural estate in Enschede, Netherlands.

The mansion features yellow-brown brick walls, double English slate roofing, and a symmetrical facade with seven window bays across two stories.

The Van Heek family, prominent textile manufacturers, established the estate in the mid-19th century and constructed the current mansion between 1925 and 1927.

The interior displays marble floors, ornamental staircases, and fireplaces adorned with carved scenes depicting regional historical events from Twente.

The estate spans 14 hectares, with half dedicated to the mansion and park, while the remaining portion contains forests and landscaped grounds.

The dining room contains relief carvings above the fireplace that narrate significant moments in local textile industry development.
