Castle Route't Rozendael, Nijenhuis and De Colckhof

Your cycling route starts at Restaurant Zalen De Mol. One of the beautiful estates that you will see during your tour is Kasteel't Rozendael. “Erve Rozendal” was mentioned for the first time in 1583, as a tenant farm at the Bredenhorst manor. When the Het Nijenhuis estate was purchased by the same owner in 1987, a contiguous nature reserve was created. The Nijenhuis is one of the best preserved manor houses in Overijssel, with an imposing castle in a beautiful landscape. It is first mentioned in 1382. You will now find Museum de Fundatie there. The De Colckhof estate is also centuries old: it already existed around 1300. The neoclassical country house was built in 1840. Romantic English gardens with winding avenues, water features and fairytale views of green farmlands are home to more than sixty bird species.
