Big Spriel, Country estate near Putten, Netherlands.

The Renaissance Revival manor features a 25-meter tower with a clock, surrounded by 3.5 hectares of landscaped gardens and forest paths.

The interior showcases marble Art Nouveau fireplaces, high ceilings, stained glass windows, and detailed woodwork reflecting Dutch architectural traditions.

The estate, located at Garderenseweg 150, now functions as a specialized care facility for individuals with memory conditions and dementia.

The park, designed by Dirk Wattez, contains a star-shaped forest with visual axes extending from the manor house through the seasonal landscape.
