Sandwijck, Baroque architectural ensemble in De Bilt, Netherlands

The Sandwijck estate spans 68 hectares with a monumental villa, built in 1770, displaying Dutch Baroque architectural elements at Utrechtseweg 305.

The property originated from Oostbroek monastery lands, later purchased by Carel van Utenhove in 1644 and transformed into a grand estate by the Voet van Winssen family.

The estate features an English landscape garden, redesigned in 1833 by Hendrik van Lunteren, incorporating native and exotic tree species throughout the grounds.

The main house contains twenty residential units managed by Woonstichting De Key, while Het Utrechts Landschap maintains the surrounding natural areas.

This protected monument underwent transformation from abandoned university property to resident-restored housing through organized squatter initiatives between 1980 and 1991.
