This elegant example of a Dutch buitenplaats, once owned by wealthy Amsterdam merchants, features neoclassical architecture, lush gardens, and a serene ambiance.

Wander through the atmospheric ruins and immerse yourself in the unique blend of military history, nature, and cultural events that make this site a fascinating destination.
Vecht River
Cruise along the Vecht River, one of the Netherlands' most scenic and culturally rich waterways. Flowing from Utrecht to Muiden, this river winds through charming villages like Nigtevecht and Breukelen, lined with historic estates, old drawbridges, and lush greenery. Once a favorite retreat for Amsterdam’s elite during the Dutch Golden Age, the Vecht now offers opportunities for boating, cycling, and walking, providing tranquil views and a glimpse into the country's architectural and natural heritage.
Molen De Vriendschap (Weesp)
Admire Molen De Vriendschap, a beautifully restored windmill in Weesp near the Vecht river.

This landmark serves as a symbol of community spirit and heritage.
Fort Ossenmarkt (Weesp)
Discover Fort Ossenmarkt, a historically significant fort in Weesp, part of the Nieuwe Hollandse Waterlinie.

Surrounded by a moat and lush greenery, Fort Ossenmarkt offers a blend of military history and natural beauty, popular with walkers and history enthusiasts exploring Weesp's rich heritage. While not always open, the fort and its surroundings are worth exploring.
Van Houtenkerk (Weesp)
Visit the Van Houtenkerk in Weesp, a striking church building named after the Van Houten family, pioneers in the Dutch cocoa industry. Built in 1906 in a neo-Renaissance style, this former church was commissioned as a gift to the community and has been beautifully restored. Now a cultural and event venue, admire its elegant architecture, stained glass windows, and historical charm, bridging Weesp’s industrial past with its vibrant present.
