In addition to the castle, the garden of Duivenvoorde also has the status of a national monument. The estate is located in a peat meadow area peppered with bushes, partly borders an old beach wall and covers a total area of more than 260 hectares. The heart of the estate is the castle, whose roots date back to the 13th century, located in a recently restored English-style landscaped park. See: kasteelduivenvoorde.nl
