Country Estate Beeckestijn

The Beeckestijn gardens are an outdoor museum.

The combination of two different styles - the geometric gardens in baroque style and the more playful landscaped garden - is unique in the Netherlands.

A long period of restoration in a number of stages, which started back in 1969, will see the gardens restored to their former 18th-century glory. Here you can find a rose garden with pergola, a herb garden with serpentine wall, a symmetrically shaped formal flower bed and a cherry garden.

In addition, the gardens have been laid out with ponds, garden sculptures and original 18th-century features, such as the ice house and the gardener’s cottage.
