Huis Steenvoorde, Historic estate in Rijswijk, Netherlands

Steenvoorde estate encompasses multiple connected properties with extensive grounds, forming part of the larger De Voorden complex in Rijswijk.

The original structure, dating from 1289, belonged to Gerard van Leyden, secretary to Count Floris V, and underwent multiple reconstructions through centuries.

The estate name stems from its location near a stone ford crossing, reflecting the medieval Dutch practice of naming properties after geographical features.

The estate grounds contain multiple walking paths connecting different sections, allowing visitors to explore the historical layout of the property.

Archaeological excavations in 1964 revealed foundations of the medieval structure, providing physical evidence of the original castle's existence.
