Castle Nienoord

Leek, The Netherlands

 

The entrance, country estate Nienoord, Leek

 

The Nienoord Groningen estate house in Leek, originally established in 1525, has an eventful history. In 1850, after it was reduced to ashes, Nienoord was restored in the same style as that of the house of the then inhabitant (Master Van Panhuys) in the city at the Hereplein (now also housing Topstart). Today, the magnificent Groningen estate house and surrounding park are part of the Nationaal Rijtuigmuseum (National carriage museum). Near the estate is a large family park with a large recreation area, petting zoo, and a model railway.
