Groeneveld Castle

Groeneveld Castle is an estate in the municipality of Baarn. It is used as a "Country and rural country estate" by Staatsbosbeheer. A long driveway from the Amsterdamsestraatweg forms the visual axis of the estate. This visual axis continues through the corridor on the first floor to about two kilometers in the woods behind the castle. In the past, the visual axis even continued to the Monnikenberg towards Hilversum

The estate around the castle is about 130 ha and is managed by Staatsbosbeheer. The park of Groeneveld castle was built in the Dutch Baroque style, which is characterized by strict geometric shapes and impressive driveways.

When the English landscape style took off in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the park was transformed. Water features, hills, winding paths and trees were created. Especially after 1830, the landscape style in Groeneveld was perfected. An ice cellar was also constructed. It still exists and is now inhabited by big-eared bats.

After the garden had been neglected for decades, it was restored by Michael van Gessel in the late 1970s, leaving the landscape styles from the various periods intact and bringing them together into a whole.
