Fort Everdingen

Highlight • Historical Site

Fort Everdingen is located on the border of Vijfheerenlanden and Culemborg. It is part of the New Dutch Waterline. The fort is named after the neighboring village of Everdingen. The road turns around the fort, a few right-angled bends and a mini climb back up the dike.

Dijk op de Schop Monument

Highlight • Monument

The dike was overhauled.
In 1995, the threat of high water was so great that a quarter of a million people in the river area had to evacuate. Also in Culemborg. Immediately afterwards, a project started to strengthen the dike and develop nature.
This work of art is a lasting reminder of that project.
The shovel represents the work on the dike. The woman with child and umbrella symbolize protection against the water. The bird refers to the new nature.
The artwork was created by visual artist Dick Matze

Mariënwaerdt gate entrance

Highlight • Monument

Heerlijkheid Mariënwaerdt is an extensive estate of approximately 900 hectares and has been in the hands of the Van Verschuer family since the 18th century. It has a rich history, which began in 1129 when the Mariënwaerdt Abbey was founded by Norbertine monks. The abbey has experienced several destructions, including during the Eighty Years' War. After the abbey was closed during the French occupation, the estate fell into private hands.

The Notenlaan is a well-known aspect of Mariënwaerdt. This long, stately avenue with nut trees on both sides is one of the beautiful access roads to the estate. It is a photogenic place, especially in spring and autumn.

Mariënwaerdt has developed over the years into a versatile estate. Organic farming is practiced, and the estate produces its own products, ranging from cheese to jam and biscuits, which are sold in the estate shop and elders. In addition, it is a popular location for events, including the annual Estate Fair, and offers various options for business meetings and weddings.

Visitors to Mariënwaerdt can enjoy the peace and nature, walk on the many paths, or visit the pancake house or one of the other eateries on the estate.

In short, Heerlijkheid Mariënwaerdt is a combination of historic charm, natural beauty and contemporary entrepreneurship in a beautiful part of the Dutch Betuwe.
