Beautiful castles near Heino

From granary to country house
The start and end point of this cycle route is the cozy Heino campsite. Start the day with a cup of coffee or, after a long day of cycling, sit down in the campsite's restaurant for a snack and a drink. Just outside the center of the village of Heino you can already see the first estate't Rozendael sparkling through the trees. Initially there was a so-called spieker at this location, intended for the storage of grain. In the past, feudal lords had to pay rent and taxes to their lord. They mainly did this in kind with products from the land such as rye and oats, which were then stored in a spiker. These payments in kind were replaced in the course of the 17th century by payment in money and with that the function of the spieker disappeared. Many lords then started using their estate as a country house to stay when they wanted to escape the city for a while.
