Huis Heeckeren

The whitewashed country house features classical architectural elements, including pilasters on its rear facade and preserved medieval cellars beneath the structure.

First mentioned in 1400, the property belonged to the Van Coeverden brothers, Reinold and Wolter, who received it as a fief from the Bishop of Utrecht.

The estate reflects the architectural evolution from medieval times through the 17th century, with modifications continuing into the 19th century construction period.

The building underwent restoration in 2005 after being purchased by developer Bertil Fluttert, following years of neglect since the departure of Dominican sisters.

Dominican sisters constructed a Lourdes grotto on the estate grounds, which remained accessible to visitors after renovation efforts by local religious communities.
