Description

BRICKWORK WITH PILLARS ALONG THE FORECOURT. Brickwork constructed in red brick, interrupted by carriage house and main building, which quarters the forecourt on the SW and NW sides in a quarter-circle shape. The brickwork is provided with a profiled sandstone coping. Furthermore, the brickwork on the axis of the driveway is broken through on both sides by a rectangular passage, which is flanked by composite brick pillars with composite profiled sandstone coping, upon which sandstone urns are placed. The four urns are flattened in form and have volute-shaped handles and a band with gadrooning on the belly. On the east side of the aforementioned passages, the brickwork is terminated by the orangery situated here on the north side and the steward's house on the south side. On the forecourt side of the western pillar of the northern passage, a 17th-century marble plaque bearing the coat of arms of the Van Heeckeren family, crowned by a vizier; the plaque was placed after 1842, when Bingerden came into the possession of the Van Heeckeren van Kell family. Halfway through the quarter-circle course of both wall sections, the wall is interrupted by a half-round gate flanked by pilasters with a keystone. Approximately halfway between these gates and the main building, the brickwork curves upward in an arch. It is terminated here by a pillar and from this point onward the raised brickwork runs in a straight line toward the house. The said raised wall sections were constructed after the Second World War at the time of the building of the present house. On the pillar adjoining the right wall section, a commemorative stone with the text: "I.M. van Pabst aged 18 years 9 May 1827". This stone originally came from the old house destroyed during the Second World War. Apart from the said pillars and pilasters, the brickwork is finished flat on the forecourt side; on the rear side the brickwork is braced by brick pillars. The brickwork with pillars, pilasters and urns dates, excepting the newly laid sections, from 1786, as the commemorative stone in the northern quarter-circle section at the forecourt records: "C.S.A. van Pabst. Aged: 12 years 1786". In the wall section at the forecourt between the left gate and the house, a sandstone plaque, originally from the old house, with the text: "R.W.E. van Pabst (...) aged 11 years 1786". On the rear of the brickwork on the right pilaster of the southern gate, a hardstone 18th-century lion's head in relief. On the pillar to the left of the left pilaster of this gate, an identical stone. On the second pillar to the left of the said left pilaster, again a hardstone 18th-century lion's head in relief.
