The freu pond is an old pingo ruin, bordered by birch, beech and mountain ash. The estate was built around 1880 by the Lycklama à Nijeholt family for wood production and the pond was part of the private park. The damsel enlarged the pond around 1900 and had a tea dome built so that her family and guests could linger there as well as boating.

Just wait a week or so and then all the rhododendrons around the freule pond will bloom, which is beautiful.
