Ter Hooge Estate

Welcome to the website of the Ter Hooge estate. The estate has been privately owned by the Lynden Ter Hooge family foundation since 1955. Ter Hooge is classified under the Nature Conservation Act and is a monumental complex of a historic country estate

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

Environment

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

In addition to the diversity of trees, many ornamental shrubs and exotics have been planted at the edges of the meadows. Spring flowers such as the stemless keyflower, snowdrop, wood hyacinth, garlic mustard and winter aconite are characteristic of the historic country estate. The marsh marigold, valerian, arum lily and cow parsley are the true spring bloomers.
