Nederland - Warmond, Huys te Warmont

Huys te Warmont (Warmont House) is a medieval fortified farmhouse, which originally was built in the 14th century, but destroyed by Spanish troops in 1573 during the Eighty Years' War. Around 1600, the castle was rebuilt and surrounded by orchards, meadows and gardens.

For a long time, this ‘castle’ was the seat of the lords and ladies of Warmond. From here they ruled the village. Warmond was a high lordship, which meant that the lords and ladies of Warmond could rule in their own territory more or less as independent princes.

Huys te Warmont was the home of the lords of Warmond. Although it dates from the Middle Ages, in its present form it is a late 18th century manor house. The Van den Woude family inhabited the house from about 1300 to 1525. In the 16th century, the house passed to the Van Duvenvoorde family, who later called themselves “Van Wassenaar”.

The house is currently privately inhabited and is not open to the public. The park- with beautiful old trees - surrounding the house is a nice walking area and is free to enter.

C'est un très bel endroit, sûrement très agréable. La bâtisse, entourée d'eau, m'évoque aussi le château d'Azay-le-Rideau.
Bonne semaine, Jaap.

Such a beautiful house and location...............I really like all three of these photos. The main image is beautifully composed with lovely light and beautiful colours in the trees. The closer views in the PiPs are excellent with a much better idea of the scale of the place.

Superb travel photography as always sir!
