Huis Bergh is a protected country estate with a castle surrounded by an inner moat, a rampart and an outer moat. Behind the castle lies the 18th-century Parkbos de Plantage. The castle gardens are located at the beginning of the Plantage.

The history of this garden and the Plantation goes back to 1461, when there is mention of a 'Tuijn in the Vinkenborch'. Around 1560, Count Willem van de Bergh built the still existing large covered handball court here. Count Willem was married to Maria van Nassau, the eldest sister of William of Orange, as a result of which Huis Bergh Castle and its landscaping were held in high esteem by international nobility. In the course of the 17th and early 18th century, the Plantage was further expanded and embellished into a luxurious and impressive garden design in geometric style. A map from 1727 by the land surveyor Bücker shows the Nieuwe Gaard with the handball court, figure beds, vegetable beds and fruit trees. Several ponds lie along the central axis. Garden and castle were inextricably linked in earlier centuries.
