Staverden Estate

Hidden in the woods between Ermelo and Elspeet lies Landgoed Staverden, which holds the official title of being the smallest city in the Benelux. The centerpiece of the estate is the stunning, white Staverden Castle, surrounded by a fairytale-like castle garden, historic outbuildings, and an authentic watermill. The estate is nationally renowned for its tradition of keeping white peacocks, a practice that dates back to the fourteenth century. Visitors can enjoy lovely walks along the winding streams, admire the fragrant rose garden, or relax at the charming brasserie located in the former orangery. Landgoed Staverden offers a perfect blend of cultural history, aristocratic grandeur, and tranquil Veluwe nature.
