A havezate is a historic Dutch manor, originally built for nobility or wealthy landowners. Over time, these estates became elegant country houses. Today, they are often preserved as heritage sites or private residences.
Havezate Westrup has been a notary’s residence since 1843, and its new owner, a retired notary, continues that tradition. A major renovation took place to restore the house, aligning with the owner’s love for antiques and art. The house was completely stripped but carefully restored to its original state, now with modern comforts.
Each room has its own color theme, and the sight-lines between spaces create a dynamic and layered interior.
