Beeckestijn

Beeckestijn is a historical buitenplaats (summer house) dating from the 18th century in a park by the same name in Velsen-Zuid, Netherlands.

The house and the accompanying gardens are listed for varying reasons in the National register of monuments.

The main building seen today has a sculpture on the facade and some stuccos within by Ignatius van Logteren (1685-1732).

After the war the house was occupied by Canadians before becoming the property of Jonkvrouwe Agnes Cremer-Boreel who sold it to Velsen.

The property now belongs to the Vereniging Hendrick de Keyser, which restores and manages other heritage sites in the area.
