Boekesteyn

Beautiful place to hike and a wonderland for photographers!

Boekesteyn country house was built around 1720 for Nicolaes Sautyn, from a powerful Amsterdam merchant family. "Boeke" is old Dutch for beech, therefore its Boekesteyn refers to the many beeches on the estate. Two historic beeches adorn the lawn in front of the estate as additional evidence. During the centuries the real estate was in hands of different merchants families. In 1992 Natuurmonumenten bought Boekesteyn with Brambergen from the pharmaceutical company Solvay-Duphar. Today, the country house of Boekesteyn is rented to the National Postcode Lottery. Around the country house are many lovely walking paths, all though it is quite busy during the weekends. We had a nice walk with our International group on the 1st xmas day 😊

Natural monument protected lovely fields for picnick. Walking paths. Small coffee tea area organic products.

Lovely place to walk around and have fun with kids. Look for activities on site of natuurmonumenten!

Beautiful walk through the park around the stately country estates. Good paths. Some paths are less suitable for wheelchair users.
