Trompenburgh

The mansion is almost entirely surrounded by water and was built to resemble a ship, even with decks and railings.

[1] Before the current mansion was built, the plot was owned by Andries Bicker and his sister Dieuwertje (1584-1641).

Joan van Hellemondt (1616-1665), her son, built a mansion on the estate, called De Hooge Dreuvik, which dates back to 1654.

The couple redecorated the mansion considerably but it was looted and burned by the French army in February 1673, after the year of disaster.

[4][5] It was rebuilt from 1675 to 1684 by Tromp, who called it Sylisburg, which refers to the Danish title given to him, count of Sölvesborg in 1676.
