Beukenhorst, Historical estate and nature area in Vught, Netherlands.

The estate encompasses a mansion set within park forests, featuring formal lawns, structured sightlines, and decorative ponds across the grounds.

The original mansion, built in 1780 by Theodoor François van Santvoort on heathland, was replaced in 1925 by Frederik Hendrik Fentener van Vlissingen.

The property demonstrates Dutch landscape architecture with rectangular forest parcels, English-style gardens, and designs influenced by landscape architects Zocher and Springer.

A new water pumping station installed in 2022 manages water levels between Vught and the Essche Stream, incorporating fish passages in its design.

During the 1980s, the estate served as residence for former Prime Minister Dries van Agt while he held the position of King's Commissioner.
