Huis De Beuk, Forester's lodge in Gronsveld, Netherlands.
The white stone building stands on the Wijngaardsberg ridge northeast of Gronsveld, offering views over the western Maas Valley from the Plateau of Margraten.
Built in 1848 using marl stone by the Martens family from Leuven, the lodge housed three generations of forest rangers from the Beuken family until 1938.
The location previously served as a hermitage until 1818, after which a Walloon resident collected saltpeter from nearby rocks to sell to local farmers.
Several hiking routes connect to the lodge, including a 7.4-kilometer trail from Gronsveld that takes approximately two hours to complete.
The building narrowly escaped demolition in the 1980s and was restored in 1989 by members of Wildbeheereenheid Savelsbos, who continue to maintain it today.
