Het Buitenland

Untill the flood of 1953 the polder was situated outside the dikes and was kind of abroad (translated ‘Het Buitenland’ means abroad). The estate is based on historical maps and has an open character formed by water, bridges and reed land. Walking is possible on the paved and unpaved paths. You can visit the estate (daily) for free between sunrise and sunset.

At the estate several works of art are on display. A blue sculpture by Marijke de Goey welcomes visitors at the gallery's entrance. Near the collection building bronze sculptures by Ad Timmermans are erected and in the polders one can find the nine 'ruiters' of the Orion-project.
