Description

Description component 2: HISTORICAL GARDEN AND PARK LAYOUT belonging to the historical country estate Oldruitenborg.

Nineteenth-century layout on an older foundation, consisting of: a. avenues; b. woodland walk with ditches and small hills; c. remaining land. Regarding a.: there are two straight east-west running avenues, in terms of layout 18th century, planted with single rows of old pollard lindens; the most northerly runs from the southeast corner of the house to the ditch around the ruin (see below 4); the other avenue, situated just outside the actual park, is the Laan van Toutenburg, which is included in the protection because of the old linden planting; the avenue is now a cycle path and forms the southern border of the complex. Regarding b.: the woodland walk (public park) traversed by winding paths, consisting mainly of old mature leafwood, covers approximately half of the complex area, namely the southern and eastern parts thereof; the main feature of the layout is the square ditch around the ruin-island; the 14th-century ruin of Toutenburg castle is incorporated into the layout as a folly; the northern ditch arm is extended westward almost to the house; it runs alongside and parallel to the linden avenue and is approximately the same length; parallel to this ditch arm, on the north side, lies a low embankment covered with woodland: a remnant of the medieval town wall; the south arm too has a westward extension, which is narrower and shorter, and ends at the gardener's house (see below 7); in the bank of the southeast point of the ditch lies a waterfall of large basalt blocks, 19th century (?); the water comes from outside the complex and is led via a culvert under the Laan van Toutenburg to the ditch; in the park are two small hills: one in the extreme southwest corner of the complex; a pavilion once stood on it; on the other, near the northeast corner of the ruin-ditch, formerly stood the so-called town inner mill. Regarding c.: the remaining land parts lie around the house and along the wall; they have a contemporary layout with grass fields, car parks and a deer enclosure, and probably encompass the places where kitchen gardens and orchards once were.

Valuation

The HISTORICAL GARDEN AND PARK LAYOUT is of general importance:

- because of its age;

- because of its cultural-historical values;

- because of the particularity of the (partial) location on the former town walls.
