Huis Overvoorde, Rijswijk, Protected architectural ensemble in Rijswijk, Netherlands
Huis Overvoorde is a protected residential ensemble in Rijswijk featuring a main house, outbuildings, and formal grounds laid out in geometric patterns. The architectural complex shows typical Dutch country house design with its composition of structures and landscaped surroundings.
Construction began in 1623, establishing this as a significant property within the region's landholding families. The estate remained in private hands for centuries before receiving official protection status as a registered monument.
The estate reveals how wealthy Dutch families organized their homes and grounds during its era. The formal gardens and main residence offer insight into the daily life and social position of the gentry in this period.
The property sits along Van Vredenburchweg and is viewable from the street, though access to the interior grounds may be restricted. Your best approach is to walk around the perimeter to appreciate the architecture and gardens from outside, or inquire about any public visiting hours.
This property sits within a remarkable cluster of 88 protected monuments in Rijswijk, making the town an extraordinary repository of Dutch architectural heritage. Walking through the area reveals multiple historical structures from different periods in close proximity to one another.
