The original house on the property was built in 1644, and rebuilt in 1720. Several features were added after this, including the two additional houses, some alleys, a grand canal, a moated manor garden, scenic avenues and a fishpond.[2]
The property also has a garden from the 18th and 19th centuries with many original features including borders, water features and a collection of old fruit trees. The orchard contains many varieties of apple, pear and cherry trees. Garden tours are occasionally offered to the public.[3]
The historical value of the site is recognized under Rijksmonument complex # 528700 (with several sub-numbers for various features on the property).
