Trompenburgh

Trompenburgh is an estate featuring a mansion completely surrounded by water and displaying baroque architectural forms. The property includes multiple outbuildings and gardens arranged around the central water feature.

The estate was originally built in 1654 and then substantially redesigned between 1675 and 1684. This redesign occurred during a period when the owner held major positions in European naval affairs.

The mansion displays Dutch Baroque architecture through its symmetrical facade and water-surrounded setting, reflecting the owner's maritime background. The surrounding water channels and gardens form an integral part of how the estate presents itself.

The estate opens to visitors on specific days, including the national Castle Day, when access to the grounds is available. Parking is located near the entrance, making arrival straightforward.

The mansion incorporates unusual design features resembling maritime elements such as decks and railings, reflecting the owner's seagoing background. These nautical details are visibly integrated into the building's decorative architecture.
