Hummelo, Estate Enghuizen #1 - Manor

(best viewed in Large)

 

In 1835 began the construction of the 'new' castle Enghuizen. In 1842 the building was ready. The palace-like house was built in Italian palazzo style and had very luxurious furnishings. The castle was surrounded by a beautiful park, with ponds iron bridges.

 

On March 25, 1945 the building was damaged by a bombing by allied aircraft. Thanks to the heavy walls of the castle there was mainly glass and wood damage.

 

After the liberation careless Canadian troups caused a fire and the castle was damaged severely. Because of the high costs of reconstruction the place was demolished instead in 1948.
