Landgoed De Colckhof

Landhuis de Colckhof is not accessible, but walking on the roads and paths of the estate is allowed. Experience the romance of the English gardens with playful water features, winding paths and beautiful vistas. In the background you can hear birds chirping and woodpeckers drumming on trees. Nearly sixty bird species breed at the Colckhof, so bird watchers can indulge themselves here. The estate dates back to 1300 and the accompanying country house was built in 1840. The country house is privately owned. The estate was laid out in the English landscape style in the first half of the nineteenth century. The landscape consists of patches of grassland, forest, fields and a vegetable garden. In the spring, lilies of the valley, wild hyacinths, daffodils and periwinkle trees bloom here, and in the autumn the forest has beautiful autumn colors. The estate has recently become even more beautiful, because it has just had a makeover. Ponds, canals and ditches have been cleaned, the groundwater level has been raised and the water quality has been restored.
