Landgoed Voorlinden covers 40 hectares and the area is characterized by woods, water features and meadows. In 1584 the name 'Voorlinden' appears for the first time. In the period 1803-1835, a landscape-style park was created on this site, based on a design from 1804 by landscape architect Johan David Zocher Sr. and performed since 1834 by his son Jan David Zocher. In 1824 the house was bought by Mr. C.Th. Elout, then Minister of State.

Huis De Paauw in Wassenaar was built around 1770 by order of Adriaan Pieter Twent, who was Minister of Water Management under Louis Napoleon. After his death, it was bought in 1838, together with the estates Raaphorst, Ter Horst and Backershagen, by Prince Frederik of the Netherlands (1797-1881), the brother of King Willem II. He had both the house and the gardens thoroughly modified. After his death, his daughter Marie De Paauw inherited and after her death in 1910 it passed into the hands of builders, who sold the large estate in parts.
