about the rich history of the beautiful country estates and country houses
in the Stichtse Lustwarande Zeist.

Here you can also read stories about events in my village, but also outside of it.

About us
During my walks in Zeist with Siena and Giulia, our "Bracco Italiano" hunting dogs, we visit the most beautiful country estates.

The Stichtse Lustwarande stretches from De Bilt to Rhenen and was once a refuge for wealthy merchants and bankers who fled their polluted homes and cities in the summer for fresh air.

Each walk, illustrated with many photos that can be found in the photo gallery, I share something about the history of these places in Zeist, as well as personal stories and what I've experienced.

You can also read my stories, as well as those of other Zeist columnists, at www.zeistermagazine.nl

Zeist is so beautiful, and we are so lucky to live here.

He who does not read, does not know.
