Sypesteyn offers a unique glimpse into the world of Henri van Sypesteyn (1857-1937). Opposite the 15th-century Sijpekerk, the nobleman built the castle on old foundations at the beginning of the last century; the spot where he himself envisioned his ancestral home. This later turned out to be just a dream, but the result was a stylish building, surrounded by moats and a beautiful historic garden. With Sypesteyn, the nobleman wanted to honor his family. The castle's interior remains largely as the nobleman left it in the 1930s. During the guided tours, you'll discover all facets of the nobleman's rich collection, including the Armory, the Gothic Room, and the 17th-century Low Hall. On the first floor, Oriental and Dutch porcelain are on display, as well as many family portraits from the opulent life of the eighteenth century. (https://sypesteyn.nl/kasteel-museum/)

The village is known for the many estates that wealthy Amsterdammers had built here in the 17th century. First, large quantities of sand were dug up and transported to Amsterdam by barge. This sand was used to build the famous canal belt, among other things. Stately summer residences were then built on the vacant plots. The showpiece is without a doubt the Trombenburgh house, from 1672, which lies like a ship in the water. The client was Cornelis Tromp, the son of naval hero Maarten Harpertsz Tromp. From the terrace on the roof you could see the ships on the Zuiderzee at the time.

Beautiful old country house/castle. With park.

There are faster and more straightforward paths in the region. But if you're not necessarily looking to ride quickly, this is a beautiful highlight on your route. The paths are otherwise great for cycling.

Groeneveld Castle is one of the many monuments owned by Staatsbosbeheer.

Amazing Cafe and an amazing Park to let the dogs run out. Recommend this to anyone.

Self-service restaurant at Groeneveld Castle. You can have lunch here, but also have coffee and tea with cake.
