Bulskampveld Castle
Highlight • Castle
The new castle shows little castle allure. It is a large country house in a sober, neo-Gothic style.
At the same time as the construction of the castle, a new coach house was built, as well as horse and cow stables. On the side of the vegetable garden, now a herb garden, we notice that parts of older buildings were used: among other things, a piece of fieldstone wall was preserved. A water tower was constructed on the corner of the coach house. On top of this tower stood a mill that pumped the water from the artesian well. A clock-like instrument on the tower indicated the height of the water supply.

collector of moments, in the present.
Along fields green and paths narrow,
A walk, a beautiful story.
Around the Castle Rondje, where history …
