Description

Introduction

FARMHOUSE situated at right angles to the road, named Cremer Hoeve, built in 1915-1916 in sober Interbellum architecture at the commission of J.T. Cremer and designed by H. Masselink (architect employed by the Nederlandsche Heidemaatschappij). The farmhouse formed the closing piece of the technically and agriculturally innovative reclamation activities on the Zeyerveld. On the commemorative stone in the southern side wall is inscribed: 'The foundation stone laid on the 6th day of August 1915 by Mr J.T. Cremer born in Zwolle on the 30th day of June 1847 owner and developer of the Zeyerveld covering 620 hectares reclaimed with the assistance of the Nederlandsche Heidemaatschappij in the period 1908 - September 1915.' Cremer was at that time Minister of the Colonies. The outbuildings fall outside the protection.
