Welgelegen, borg, Historic veenborg estate in Sappemeer, Netherlands.
The symmetrical mansion features a hipped roof with blue glazed tiles, five chimneys, and contains a Louis XIV style marble fountain in its main hall.
Built in 1655 for Jan Cornelis Spiel, the estate served as the administrative center for peat extraction operations managed by the Borger Compagnie in Sappemeer.
The neobaroque garden design from 1916 includes two pond structures forming a canal system, with arranged flowerbeds and structured pathways leading to water features.
Located at De Vosholen 60 in Sappemeer, the garden remains accessible to visitors from sunrise to sunset, while the interior opens during specific events.
The property includes an 18th-century fireplace from Groningen and a clock dating back to 1688, preserved through multiple restoration projects since the 1960s.
