Buitenplaats Beeckestijn

Beeckestijn Country Estate is one of the best-preserved and most impressive historic country estates on the Dutch coast. Located in Velsen-Zuid, this stately complex served as a summer residence for wealthy Amsterdam regents in the 18th century. Beeckestijn is unique because it not only features a magnificent main house and monumental coach houses, but also boasts a garden complex that is acclaimed worldwide. The gardens form a living museum in their own right and illustrate the transition from the austere, geometric French Baroque style to the romantic, flowing English landscape style. It is an oasis of tranquility where history, art, and nature blend harmoniously.
