Today, this listed national monument offers modern comfort including underfloor heating on the ground floor, a bright kitchen with built-in appliances, HR+ glazing, and insulated floors, walls, and roof. It is beautifully situated on the landscaped grounds of Castle Renswoude, surrounded by greenery and 150-year-old deciduous trees.
