Over De Vlinder Op de plaats waar deze molen staat, stond eerder een wipkorenmolen. Deze werd in 1913 door brand verwoest. De toenmalige molenaar G.J. de Heus liet daarop een hoge ronde stenen stellingkorenmolen bouwen, welke hij de naam “De Haas” gaf. Deze Haas was geen lang leven beschoren, want in maart 1931 brandde ook deze uit als gevolg van een storm. Datzelfde jaar werd de molen herbouwd en dit met onderdelen van onder meer de molen van Fikse te Heukelum, die toen net gesloopt werd.

A lovely, gently winding path through varied scenery. Be careful of oncoming traffic on the bends – some people seem to think they can use the entire width of the path for themselves.

The Orangerie restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Closed on Mondays, unfortunately.

Around 1300, Sandenburg was first mentioned as a "residential tower with six marrows of land." At that time, Sandenburg was nothing more than a fortified tower; the white-plastered extension and outbuildings only date from the 19th century. Many fortified towers were built in the Langbroekerwetering area during the Middle Ages. The Bishop of Utrecht and his neighbor, the Duke of Guelders, had little affection for each other at the time, and to protect their territory from a possible invasion, watchtowers were built in the border region. Sandenburg was one such watchtower. Over time, the tower was expanded into a residential tower and castle. In 1538, Sandenburg was recognized as a Knight's Court. By then, the castle had grown into a fully moated complex with a tower, several residential wings, and an outer bailey. In 1792, the Sandenburg Estate was purchased by G.C.C.J. Baron van Lynden. He thus became "Lord of Sandenburg," and the family name changed to Van Lynden van Sandenburg. The Knight's Manor had been almost entirely demolished before 1792. Only the square, four-story residential tower remained. Between 1861 and 1864, the Van Lyndens expanded this tower into a castle. Designed by the renowned architect Van Lunteren, the building was constructed in the romantic, neo-Gothic style, with its characteristic whitewashed walls and towers. The park surrounding the castle was laid out in the current English landscape style. Adjacent to the castle were the Coach House, the Orangery, and the Gatekeeper's House. The coachman's house was built against the rear of the Orangery, where the poet Gerrit Achterberg was born in 1905. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Sandenburg Estate expanded through acquisition and inheritance. By the end of the 19th century, the estate had grown to over 600 hectares.
