Landgoed Beekhuizen, Velp, Historic estate in Velp, Netherlands

The 164-hectare Landgoed Beekhuizen features deciduous forests, coniferous woodlands, beech avenues, heathland areas, and the valley of Beekhuizensebeek with springs and ponds.

Alexander van Spaen acquired the estate in 1682, and his descendant Johan Frederik Willem transformed it into an internationally recognized romantic landscape around 1777.

The estate displays poems by Jacques Delille throughout its grounds, representing an early Dutch example of nature appreciation through artistic expression.

Visitors can access the estate through Parkeerplaats Beekhuizen on Beekhuizenseweg in Velp, where hiking trails lead through the diverse landscape.

Two ancient oak trees nicknamed Philemon and Baucis stand near creek-side cabins, including one lined with moss for resting during walks.
