Huize Hondsdonk, Historical estate and nature area in Ulvenhout, Netherlands.

The Hondsdonk estate encompasses a country house in Empire style with a bell tower, wooden dovecote, and two ornamental vases with mythological figures.

First documented in 1364 as a farm owned by Claeus van Oekel, the current mansion was built in 1795 under Lucas baron van der Borch, Willem V's adjutant.

The estate grounds feature an English landscape garden with a winding pond called Kruisvijver, designed around 1842 following European garden traditions.

Located between Ulvenhout and Chaam in Noord-Brabant, the estate connects the Strijbeekse Heide with the estates of Luchtenburg and Valkenberg.

The estate's development was partially funded by compensation from abolished slavery in Suriname, received by Baroness van der Borch van Verwolde-van der Heim.
