Description

At Oldengaerde Estate, all the beauty of nature and heritage comes together. If you want to discover Oldengaerde, the Van Dongen Suite is the ideal starting point for walks and cycling tours. The beautifully restored suite on the first floor of this national monument gives you views of the estate and its surroundings, which has been designated as a protected village site. Van Dongen is the name of the former residents of Oldengaerde Castle, who lived there in the 17th and 18th centuries.

The estate has a garden surrounding the castle with a moat around it. The garden is shared, together with other users of the castle. Sheep graze at the back of the castle. Apart from the garden, the estate also consists of forested areas, moats and meadows. Besides all kinds of birds, squirrels can also be found here. If you get up early, then you can also encounter roe deer here. There are many monumental trees on the estate, especially oaks and beeches. The Oldengaerde forest is home to currant trees. In spring, these are not to be missed; they bloom profusely here. It is said that these currant trees were brought to Dwingeloo from Canada by Professor Munniks, who lived at Oldengaerde around 1800. You can take lovely walks along the sandy paths outside the moat. For example, visit the forest that belongs to the estate. Through the forest, it is a short distance to National Park Dwingelderveld, the largest heathland area in Western Europe. Would you like to explore the surroundings of Oldengaerde Estate more extensively? There is a 9 km hiking trail around the estate.

This suite is located at the rear of the castle, on the first floor. Via the monumental staircase, a short corridor and then a staircase with 2 steps you reach the Van Dongen suite. It feels cosy and homely here. The suite consists of a beautiful living and dining room, where the estate's garden can be admired through the large windows. There is an open-plan kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom with a shower and toilet. The interior is decorated with a mix of modern and historical furniture. The floorboards, ceilings and paintings here are authentic, as is the unique monumental staircase from the 18th century, to the first floor. The Van Dongen Suite is heated by wall heating, fuelled by geothermal heat. For small children, a collapsible cot and high chair are available. The current bike shed is a box. Bikes are safe and dry here. There is a monthly guided tour of Castle Oldengaerde, which you can join as a guest. Want to know when this tour is planned? Check the calendar.
