Description

COMPONENT 12:

GATE OF THE ORCHARD AT THE LOOZ-CORSWAREMHOEVE: open-worked, wrought-iron gate piers with similar crowning between which man-height wrought-iron gate wings, the spears with pointed cast-iron finishing and on the wings a horizontal volute decoration; the spears to knee height double in number compared to the rest of the gatework. The gate wings appear to be 19th-century, the wrought-iron gate piers (with a cast-iron pineapple on the outer stiles) have a form from the first half of the 18th century.

Valuation:

The GATE OF THE ORCHARD AT THE LOOZ-CORSWAREMHOEVE is of general interest because: - the gate with the piers forms a structural and historical component of the country estate; - the gate represents differentiated age value that has come about and as such materialises the growth, modification and development of taste and style; - as a distinctive component of the country estate it represents the historical essence of castle Heeswijk, being the result of a consistent 19th-century collecting passion, in which the combination of different historical components has led to a new artistic concept.
