Landgoed Ter Hooge

Welcome to the website of Ter Hooge estate. The estate has been in private ownership of the van Lynden family since 1871 and has been managed by the Lynden Ter Hooge family foundation since 1955. Ter Hooge is listed under the Nature Conservation Act and is a monumental historic country estate.

In 1978, the foundation opened the estate largely to walkers. After a period as a care home and hotel in the 1980s, the castle was divided into four apartments. One of the apartments, the orangery and the gardener's cottages are still occupied by the family.

Surroundings

Thanks to its varied landscape types, Ter Hooge has special natural values.

Alongside the diversity of trees, many ornamental shrubs and exotic species have been planted along the edges of the meadows. Stinsen plants such as stemless primrose, snowdrop, bluebell, wild garlic and winter aconite are characteristic of this historic country estate. Meadow buttercup, lesser celandine, lords-and-ladies and cow parsley are the true harbingers of spring.
