Park Groot Leerust

Buitenplaats Groot Leerust is surrounded by a beautiful garden. Today, this backyard of the historic mansion is freely accessible as Park Groot Leerust. In 1953 the private garden was opened to visitors as a public park. The current park is the remainder of a once much larger landscape style park. Take a stroll through this beautiful garden and enjoy the view of the windmill of the Zwanburgerpolder and the Leede. On nice days you can see one boat after another passing by on the Kagerplassen. In the garden you will also find centuries-old trees and numerous birds, but also a charming tea dome that was built in 1815 and of course the country house from 1717. Groot Leerust was originally built on the basis of a farm. In the current house parts of that old farm have been incorporated here and there.
