Castle and estate Groeneveld

The gardens and routes

In the late 18th and early 19th century, the park was transformed into the English landscape style. This style is recognizable by the water features, streams, winding paths, hills, groups of trees and solitary trees. Between 1976 and 1981, the park was extensively restored.

The combination of the French and English style gardens of Groeneveld Castle means that this route takes you past all the sights of the estate. If you want to know what to do, check the website for all the information. You pay an entrance fee to visit the castle, but the park, garden and shop are free to visit.
