In the oldest charters, our estate is called Havezathe Groot Vethuusen, today: Groot Vethuizen. This area has a rich history, and we’d love to tell you more about it on this page.
There’s something for everyone here — this region is wonderfully suited to it. Go walking or cycling to, for example, the smallest town in the Netherlands: Bronkhorst. There you’ll find, among other things, the Dickens Museum. Visit Doesburg to discover where Abraham gets his mustard. Browse the book markets in Bredevoort.
Work out indoors at Aerofitt in Didam, or race along the fantastic MTB route in the Montferlandse bos. Try cable water skiing at Stroombroek, or enjoy covered shopping in Oberhausen. Catch a film in Doetinchem, see a show at the Bargse Huus, or perhaps try Scottish golf — or the real thing. Take a tour on a scooter, or in a traditional covered wagon. Unwind in a sauna, taste the wines from the Achterhoek vineyard, or connect with nature — such as horse riding, discovering flora and fauna, and experiencing farm life.
