Huize Kruisvoorde is a monumental country house. Part of this former ‘havezate’ (manorial farm) dates from the 16th century. The building is also known as
Crusefort,
Cruystenvoorde or
Cruysvoorde. The name probably refers to a
voorde, a ford at a crossing of the trade route to Deventer and the dug waterway
Terwoldse Wetering.
Huize Kruisvoorde was looted in 1572, during the Eighty Years' War. In the 18th century, a front wing was added to the building. A century later, the manor was given a coat of plaster, but this was removed at the beginning of the 20th century. An imposing square tower was then added to the building.
Huize Kruisvoorde - like nearby
De Parckelaer - became a Dutch heritage site in 1971. Nowadays, the country house is privately owned.
