Frankendael

The original building was probably built around 1659. near Weesp. The building was permanently inhabited until the early 19th century. The Garden Village Frankendael (Tuindorp Frankendael/), built shortly after World War II, borders the country estate and is named after it. == Present ==

The carriage house houses a restaurant named after Ben Merkelbach. Couples can get married at this special location, as this place is an official wedding location. In 2008, archaeological research revealed the possible foundations of the old orangery of the country estate to the west in the backyard. == Architecture ==

At the entrance there is a wooden portico (see the "History" section), which bears the coat of arms of Jan Gildemeester Janszoon. The facade of the main building is in red brick. In front of the main facade there is a fountain made in 1714 by the sculptor Ignatius van Logteren. In the front of the villa, there are also four statues from the early 18th century, perhaps brought to Frankendael by one of its owners, Jan Gildemeester. In the back of the villa, there is a garden in English style. Interior The rooms of Huize Frankendael are decorated in Louis XIV style. == Note ==
