The manor house

that Willem Adriaan van der Stel built in 1700. It is much larger than it looks on the photo. It is open to the public and still has all the original furnishings. Very stylish and beautiful to see.

Very stately. I like the statuary as you approach the main entry. It’s amazing on the outside, I can only imagine the inside.

[Valerie Chesney]

such a beautiful entrance.....would like to see inside.

Impressive. Is this a private house? I know you say it is open to the public but do a family live there.
