Huis Scherpenzeel, Historic estate in Scherpenzeel, Netherlands
The mansion features two symmetrical wings with stepped gables and a central tower, surrounded by a protective moat crossed by a footbridge.
The original fortified house from the 14th century belonged to the Van Scherpenzeel family and changed ownership multiple times between Utrecht and Gelderland.
The estate includes a vegetable garden maintained by local volunteers, reflecting traditional Dutch community involvement in heritage preservation.
The property opens for visits during Open Monument Day every three years, with the next scheduled opportunity in 2024.
The integrated tower at the rear of the building served as an emergency refuge, initially standing separate from the main structure.
