Reigersbergen, Historic estate in Marlot, Netherlands
Reigersbergen is an estate near The Hague and Wassenaar featuring meadows, gardens, and walking paths spread across natural terrain. The grounds today also serve as space for sports fields and community gardens.
The site began as a farmstead in the 15th century and was transformed into a neoclassical mansion by Joachim Jochems in 1820. During World War II, the building was demolished to make way for Atlantic Wall construction.
The estate's name comes from a heron colony that once lived in the area, showing the place's deep roots in the natural surroundings. This connection to the local wildlife shaped how people have understood and cared for the land.
The grounds have been open to the public since 1980 with maintained walking trails that make exploring straightforward. A visit works best on foot, as the paths connect the different areas well.
Beyond the mansion demolition, extensive tree plantings were removed during the war to construct the defensive installation. These wartime losses still shape how the landscape looks today.
