Another fire followed in 1909. The remains were sold to Johannes J. Bredius, director of the explosives factory “De Krijgsman” in Muiden. He had Boschlust built here, a hotel and guesthouse. It fell into a state of disrepair after the construction of the Afsluitdijk in 1932. Bredius decided to divide the property into a house and two flats. In short: a spacious and characterful national monument in one of the most beautiful spots in Muiderberg – with views of greenery, plenty of space and a very rich history.
