Windesheim manor, Manor estate in Zwolle, Netherlands.

The Windesheim manor features a gatehouse, a moat with bridge, and extends across 570 hectares of restored parkland near Zwolle.

The estate served as German military quarters during World War II until October 1944, when Royal Air Force bombing reduced it to ruins.

The manor's grounds contained a monastery where monks completed the first Dutch translation of the New Testament in 1390.

While the original manor building no longer exists, visitors can still examine the preserved gatehouse and walk through the restored surrounding park.

The property includes the Windesheimer Molen, a grist mill from 1748 that replaced earlier monastic mills established in 1391.
