HOLLAND: De Horsten estate, Wassenaar 4K

With its 450 hectares, the royal estate De Horsten is one of the largest estates of South-Holland. It consists of three estates: Ter Horst, Raephorst and Eikenhorst. It is located at the periphery of Wassenaar (not far from The Hague). Eikenhorst is not accessible to the public, but one can go for lovely walks in the other parts of the park. There are several signposted walking routes. Admission tickets can be bought at the ticket machine. The founder of the estate De Horsten was Prince Frederik of the Netherlands (1797-1881). In 1838 he bought the sites Ter Horst and Raaphorst. Eikenhorst was acquired in 1845. Around 1865, the renowned landscape gardener Eduard Petzold was commissioned to merge the sites into one estate, while preserving the characteristics of the individual sites. After the death of Prince Frederik, his daughter Princess Marie de Horsten inherited the estate. In 1903 the estate was purchased by Queen Wilhelmina. It has remained in the hands of the royal family ever since. In November 2017, Princess Beatrix donated the property to King Willem-Alexander. Little remains of the original buildings. The castles Raephorst and Ter Horst and the original country house Eikenhorst have disappeared. However, the steward's house and a hunting lodge remain. The former royal hunting lodge (1863) now functions as a tea house: 'Theepaviljoen De Horsten'. ___________________________________________ The SERINGENBERG is an artificial hill of twenty meters high, completely covered with lilacs. The hill dates from the period after 1791-1792, when Twent was the owner of Raaphorst. Mr. Adriaan Pieter Twent was a wealthy mayor from Gouda, who at the end of the eighteenth century had deliberately sought the surroundings of The Hague to devote himself to national politics. He came up with the idea to build a sand hill on the edge of the old beach wall, with a view point and a winding path to the top. Former Queen Wilhelmina got inspiration for her paintings here. The hill was planted with purple lilacs of the kind that also smell good. If one now climb the lilac mountain via the winding path, partly paved with old paving stones, you can see from the lilac bushes that they are very old. The undersides of the shrubs are usually bare and tortuous in shape, because the leaves and flowers always seek out the light. Every year we have to wait and see how the mountain looks. The amount of frost, sun and precipitation in the spring influence the flowering. Usually flowering starts in May and lasts about 14 days.
