Description:
Complete restoration and landscaping of the domain of Steenhuize, including the 17th century castle, the Gardner's house, stables and park. The restoration was governed by a striving for beauty and simplicity. The newly decorated rooms are spacious and bright. The Louis XVI mantelpieces and the sober stucco receive more depth. The medieval foundations of the cool underground vaults and the spectacular roof construction have been cleared to become impressive witness of history and professional skill.
