The mythical 'Geldberg' shows only 'pits and traces of black seed'. Rich or poor, it doesn't matter, here you can enjoy the panoramic view for FREE.

It was Jonker Johannes Josephus Moretus (1727-1806) who acquired the estate that would later become Ravenhof on October 11, 1758. He also purchased many additional plots of land and farms.
Such an estate certainly needed a park, and he had one built based on the plans of… Versailles.
Jonker also commissioned the construction of an artificial sand dune, which offered a view of his estate. It was called the "Money Mountain."

Under French rule, as the owner of the estate, he was the target of requisitions, raids, and plunder by the sans-culottes.
According to tradition, Jonker hid part of his enormous fortune in this money mountain around 1800 to escape the robberies and requisitions during the French regime.

This "money mountain" is still clearly recognizable, despite all the earlier and "modern" excavations.
