Be surprised by a multi-course dinner in a place where history, science, and nature come together. Perfect for experiencing something special with colleagues, friends, or your partner — just around the corner from your workplace or university.
Landgoed Oostbroek
Perhaps you’ve passed by it on the dual carriageway towards Utrecht or seen it on a cycling route sign at the Utrecht Science Park, but have you really seen it? Close to the city lies a hidden gem: Landgoed Oostbroek. A silent giant that, like a time capsule, has embraced nature and wildlife. Here, you can fully escape the hustle and bustle of the city and feel transported to aristocratic times. A stroll through the private grounds? Pick something from the vegetable garden? A drink in the conservatory while overlooking the estate? Oostbroek is not only breathtakingly beautiful, but also holds a fascinating history, literally waiting to be explored in its backyard.
