Velserbeek, Historical garden and Rijksmonument in Velsen-Zuid, Netherlands

The Velserbeek estate features a light plastered classicistic country house with three stories, a hipped roof, and decorative windows framed with curved lintels.

The main house construction predates 1662, as shown in a family portrait of Jeremias van Collen depicting the building in its background.

Johan Goll van Franckenstein integrated early landscape style elements into the park design following his travels through German and Austrian gardens.

The municipality acquired Velserbeek in 1924, transforming the private estate into a public park accessible to visitors throughout the year.

The north side contains the winding Engelmundusbeek with steep slopes, hills, and an island that previously housed a hermitage structure.
