De Fundatie/Kasteel Het Nijenhuis

Het Nijenhuis Castle is one of the best preserved manors in Overijssel. The castle is surrounded by a beautiful landscape between the villages of Heino and Wijhe. The history of the castle dates back to the late Middle Ages. The first mention dates from 1382. The castle was inhabited by different noble families until it was taken over by the provincial government of Overijssel. Then the castle was restored and part of the castle was converted into a museum, with the collection of collector Dirk Hannema as the starting point. In 2003 the castle was rebuilt and renovated again. The house, which was previously only open to visitors by appointment, has been completely refurbished and has been fully accessible to the public since 2004. Part of Hannema's extensive collection can be viewed in the castle. Around the castle is a sculpture garden with about 80 sculptures. Stroll through the beautiful ornamental garden and enjoy the most beautiful images in the meantime. An impressive combination of nature and culture.
