In earlier centuries, the knight's court town of Schalkwijk was located on the Tetwijkseweg. The castle itself was demolished about 200 years ago, but the moats have been preserved. In addition to the old castle grounds, the Garden of Jonkheer Ram can always be visited. The garden is based on prints of the Ridderhofstad Schalkwijk showing a garden. The current garden is named after a prominent 17th century resident of the former castle, Jonkheer Ram. The garden is a reconstruction based on a medieval example with various flower beds, intermediate paths, trees, water feature and benches. Jonkheer Ram's garden is not just any garden, but a late medieval Renaissance garden. Ineke ter Haar is a work coach at Werk en Inkomen Lekstroom (WIL) and has been committed to preserving the garden for more than 10 years. Ter Haar: "The garden was laid out in 2009 by a gardener and contains special plants and flowers that were in the garden of Ram Castle at the time. We have 33 planters with around 100 different species. This can really be called unique.' The foundations of the castle are still underground. Reconstruction is not on the agenda. However, a steel construction has been made of the perimeter of the castle. The castle is best seen from the Garden of Jonkheer Ram. A model of the castle can be seen in Museum Dijkmagazijn De Heul (open on the last Sunday of the month).

Beautiful piece to include in your walk around the estate.
