Bautersemhof
Highlight • Castle
This is the former tax farm of the Bautersem family that was already mentioned in 1270. At that time it was a farm, which was converted into a country estate in the 17th century. Renovations and extensions also took place in the 19th century.
The domain is surrounded by a figure-8 moat and is entered over a bridge and through a gate that is flanked on the left and right by service buildings from around 1800. A second bridge leads to the square in front of the castle. This building has a rectangular plan.
In front of the castle is a cedar that is more than 100 years old. There is a bird reserve near the castle. The domain borders the Binnenbos.
