Vintage landscape: huis Nijenburg

Nijenburg, 1889, Archief AlkmaarAnother sketch by C.W. Bruinvis: the front of Nijenburg house with a wide pond, statues, and clipped hedges, Heiloo, Netherlands, 1895, via Regionaal Archief Alkmaar Commons on flickr.

Today the estate is a nature reserve. The house, of course, is a romantic wedding venue.

There’s a 2011 photo of practically the same view as above here.
