In 1952, Prince Bernhard buys the country house, and subsequently his mother, Princess Armgard, lives there until her death. Later on, the estate became known for its gardens in different styles, which reflect four centuries of garden architecture. This is divided into five gardens: the well garden, the English garden, the French garden, the pinetum and the bird garden.
The present house was built in 1874, after the demolition of the earlier manor house. Further reconstruction followed in 1928, when many new historical interior parts from elsewhere were brought in. In these years, an important part of the now famous gardens, designed by Hugo Anne Cornelis Poortman, is laid out.
