    From 1 June to 29 September 2024, the region will host the land art festival "ArtPenteurs".
    One of the works is "M for Marguerite", of course placed here in the park.
    (If you are standing with your back to the villa: about 50 metres further on, turn left)

        Marguerite Yourcenar (1903-1987), the celebrated writer of, among others, "Het hermetisch zwart" (The Hermetic Black) and "Hadrianus' Herinnerschriften", refers to this place of her youth in many of her works. In interviews towards the end of her life, she repeatedly stated that it was her wish to protect this piece of nature.
        This was worked on from 1986 onwards.
        The villa in the 50-hectare park is now a writer's residence. In the vicinity of the villa there are many signs with quotes from famous authors.
