Elderschans, Historic estate in Aardenburg, Netherlands
The Elderschans estate spans 40,000 square meters of land with inner and outer moats, featuring visible outlines of former ramparts and surrounding woods.
Originally named Heilleschans, this isolated fortress west of Aardenburg served as part of the defensive Staats-Spaanse Linies during medieval times.
The estate represents traditional Dutch water management techniques and stands as one of the few remaining forested estates in the Zeeuws-Vlaanderen region.
Located within 4 kilometers of Sluis and 15 minutes from Belgian cities like Brugge, the estate provides access to multiple regional destinations.
The property combines medieval fortress elements with natural woodland, making it a distinct landmark in an area otherwise characterized by open fields.
