Huis Magerhorst

Huis Magerhorst features a distinctive stair tower and incorporates remaining sections of walls from its original medieval fortified structure into its current construction.

First documented around 1400 as a fief of Elten Abbey, the estate transformed from a fortified residence into a manor house in 1549.

The property exemplifies the architectural evolution of Dutch manor houses, displaying both defensive and residential features through multiple construction periods.

Located at Ploenstraat 48 in Duiven, the manor functions as a private residence and holds protected status as a Rijksmonument since 1966.

The stair tower contains a mezekouw, a defensive architectural element used historically to drop objects on potential attackers below.
