2. 4.0 Vollenhove City Museum (6 reviews)
   - Vollenhove ,an old village ,full of hidden charm
   Spent 1-2 hours History Museums
   
   
   Not very far from the crowded Giethoorn ,I discovered another local historic treasure ,Vollenhove village , a real mirror of the battle of the man against the water.I liked the old part of it and the natural surroundings .In 1354 Vollenhove received city rights from the bishop of Utrecht .The fishing port was constructed in 1823,it was restored in 1972 and now it is a marina. Two churches worth visiting ,Saint Nicholas church or Bovenkerk and Maria church from 1434.I was curious to open a gate ,pressing a button ...I discovered a national monument , a manor and behind The Historic Gardens Marxweld ,which have belonged for centuries to a local rich family ,Sloet.The walled gardens are laid out in 4 styles ,Medieval ,Renaissance ,Baroque and Landscape .Entrance is free ,at the end of the garden is located Maria church..I met only 6 tourists in the area .The gardens are in the historic centre ,near the local museum .The ruin and moat of an old castle Toutenburg are to be found in the park.A German knight built the castle at the beginning of the 16 th century.In the village there are historic buildings ,they have got special facades stones that indicate a certain craft .The village is small ,but very interesting ,I received information at the local museum .

   The small medieval town of Vollenhove once had two medieval castles.Castle Toutenburg was build in 1524-1531 and was partly demolished during the 80years war in 1581.After remodeling in 1627 it was finally demolished in the year 1800.The charming historic ruins stand on an island in the historic park "Havezate Oldruitenborgh";free entrance;public city park.The other castle dating from the year 1170;Oldehuys was also demolished;the castle moat was converted into the 19th century fisherman's port of Vollenhove,also worth a look,next to the main church.

   - Het gratis te bezoeken openbare stadspark Havezate Oldruitenborgh Vollenhove
   Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Parks
   
   
   Het kleine rustige stadje Vollenhove word niet door toeristen overspoeld zoals het nabijgelegen Giethoorn maar heeft wel bijzondere middeleeuwse architectuur.
   Het stadspark van Havezate Oldruitenborg heeft fraaie oude bomen en heuvels en een vijver met de ruine van het verwoeste kasteel Toutenburg uit het jaar 1524.De Havezate(versterkte hoeve of buitenhuis voor de adel)Oldruitenborgh werd in de 14de eeuw gesticht en vele malen herbouwd en is nu een hotel,restaurant,cafe met ruime tuinen.Het park in "Engelse Landschaps Stijl" is openbaar en gratis te bezoeken .
