Standard orchards are no longer common. They can still be admired on the Bredius Estate. There are two large orchards and several smaller ones with old apple varieties, such as the Goudrenet and the Notarisapple, and old pear varieties, such as the Saint-Rémy and the Legipont. The oldest fruit trees are over 100 years old. Originally, there were over four hundred fruit trees on the estate, spread across sixteen orchards. The estate now has 370 fruit trees.

The avenues on either side of this long, straight pond run partly diagonally to provide the view to and from the northern castle tower or knight's tower.

The Kruisvijver is a more than 400 meter long geometric pond that stands at the head of the castle. The northernmost point is very photogenic. From the end of this elongated pond you have a beautiful view of the castle where the knight's tower is reflected exactly in the middle of the pond when the weather is nice.

The park was built from 1830, when space was created along the canals due to the demolition of the city walls [1]. Initially, the park consisted of a narrow green strip along the city girth. The canal was widened in the second half of the nineteenth century and part of the park was excavated in 1856 due to the construction of a steam pumping station. In 1893 the park was expanded with the backyard of the house of Mayor Van Bergen IJzendoorn on the Oosthaven. In 1898 the park was given the name Houtmansplantsoen. [2] At the height of the park, part of the city wall used to be. Even longer ago, the Castle of Gouda was located partly in the area of the park. The park is named after Cornelis and Frederik de Houtman, the two Gouda brothers who sailed with the first Dutch expedition to the East Indies in 1595. Since 1880 the park has been a monument to the two brothers, with the inscription: "to the brothers Cornelis and Frederik de Houtman, natives and citizens of Gouda ... founders of the alliance of the Netherlands with Insulinde." [3] Other There are memorials for Mayor Van Bergen IJzendoorn and for Queen Wilhelmina and King Willem Alexander (Koningslinden). There is also a music dome in the park, built in 1898 after a design from 1893. [4] At the edge of the park is the flour mill 't Slot. Several events will take place in the Houtmansplantsoen. In the summer, free concerts - the so-called Houtmansplantsoen concerts - are organized in the bandstand in the park on Sunday afternoons organized by the Events Foundation Gouda (SEG). The Houtmansplantsoen is, just like the bandstand and some memorials in the park, registered in the national monument register.
