Huis Zypendaal

About

Huis Zypendaal is an elegant 18th‑century country house on the green edge of Arnhem, set within the wooded Zypendaal estate where streams, ponds, and gentle slopes create a serene landscape. Built as a refined summer residence for the Van Heeckeren family, the house still reflects the grace and symmetry of the Enlightenment era, with period rooms that preserve original furnishings and offer a glimpse into aristocratic life. The surrounding parkland enhances the experience, inviting visitors to wander along watercourses, shaded paths, and open lawns that seamlessly connect with nearby Sonsbeek Park. Inside, the atmosphere is intimate and historically rich, while outside, the estate provides one of Arnhem’s most picturesque settings. Huis Zypendaal remains a harmonious blend of architecture, art, and nature, making it a rewarding stop for anyone exploring the city’s cultural and landscape heritage.
