Kruisweg, belonging to the old racecourse Cruijsbergen (1893-1912) and located near the cooperative colony "Walden", and converted into a residential house at the beginning of the 20th century, set far back on the Nieuwe 's-Gravelandseweg.

The roofs project far out and are covered with red tuiles du Nord and roof slates. At the intersection of the roof pitches, the open-work finial covering with roof slates is still present, this was removed in 1935. The facades are white plastered on a predominantly brick plinth. On the north, south and west sides, rollagsof brick are laid above windows and doors.

The front facade on the north side contains a risalit placed to the right of centre in which French doors are placed in a brick extension. The roof of the extension, the edge of which is supported on cut brackets, serves as a balcony, accessible via French doors and flanked by a window. The balcony is surrounded by an open-work balustrade, on the corners stand cut pillars with capitals which support the boarded gable end. The far projecting roof rests on struts. The left and right corners of the risalit contain windows with glazing bars. Far to the right, in the set-back facade plane, a double window with glazing bars is placed. The roof plane is continued here and is supported at the corner by a cut pillar on a brick basement, creating a covered space. To the left of the risalit is the entrance extension brought in in 1941 under a canopy on brackets; wooden entrance door flanked by standing glass-in-lead windows. On either side of the entrance double windows also with leaded-glass frames, above the left double window is a boarded gable end.

Valuation

The former jockey's lodging is of general importance due to cultural and architectural-historical, as well as typological value as a rare example of a jockey's lodging, built in the last quarter of the 19th century in Chalet style and because of the historical-functional relationship with the former racecourse, located near the cooperative colony "Walden" in the countryside near Bussum.
