Landgoed Waterland, Historic estate in Velsen-Zuid, Netherlands

The Landgoed Waterland estate spans 29 hectares of natural area, featuring a mansion with a grand entrance, vestibule, and multiple outbuildings equipped with modern utilities.

Built between 1742 and 1766 by architect Pieter de Swart, the estate changed ownership multiple times, starting with Maria Munter-Piso selling it for 15,860 guilders in 1717.

The property served various purposes throughout history, from a summer residence for Amsterdam's elite to a rehabilitation center after World War II.

The estate includes three separate plots, a modernized garden with irrigation system, fruit orchards, and vegetable gardens, all maintained through a dedicated foundation established in 2000.

The mansion has been transformed into an eco-hotel and organic restaurant called Plantage Rococo, incorporating sustainable features while preserving its historical architecture.
