Netherlands
Broekhuizen Castle is a ridderhofstad, country house and estate in Leersum, in the municipality of Utrechtse Heuvelrug in the Dutch province of Utrecht. In its present form it dates from 1810. The castle was rebuilt as closely as possible in the old style after a major fire in 1906. The associated estate covers an area of 6 hectares.
It is a large building of three storeys, whose projecting central section is dominated by a monumental portico formed by four Ionic columns. The front façade bears the arms (a red and gold checkered cross on silver) of the Utrecht family Van Broeckhuysen.
