Description

Introduction

Built on commission of W.R. Baron van Tuyll van Serooskerken, a DWELLING HOUSE, type mansion, named 'Klein Zuylenburg'. The building was constructed in 1860 in the neoclassical style after designs by architect N. Kamperdijk and partly erected on the foundations of an older building. The building is defining within the Protected Townscape Oud-Zuilen, situated between the Dorpsstraat and the Vecht, with its gable facing the Zuilenselaan, next to the bridge over the river Vecht.

Description

The freestanding mansion situated at the corner of the Dorpsstraat, near the bridge over the river Vecht, is erected on a rectangular ground plan and comprises, above a basement, a principal floor and a mezzanine under a gabled roof with shallow roof pitch with the ridge parallel to the Dorpsstraat and the Vecht. The roof is covered with eaves tiles. The facades are rendered and painted white. The northeast facade or front facade is a symmetrically arranged side facade with in the centre a projecting porch under a flat roof with bevelled corners. Within this is situated the entrance, consisting of a double door with panels, panes and cast-iron grilles with female heads. In front of the entrance lies a natural stone step. To the left of the entrance is in the basement a wide, three-part window arrangement. To the right a garage has been set against the facade, which falls outside the protection. The principal floor has to the right and left a six-pane sash window, in the centre above the door a four-pane fanlight. The facade is finished with a moulding with at the height of each bay a small recessed four-pane window. The southeast facade is symmetrically arranged. On either side is a narrow recessed strip. The projecting basement is provided with three pairs of openings with grilles. Above the basement a veranda has been placed under a hipped roof, carried by wooden posts with simple enclosure. The sides are closed off with a frame with a diamond-shaped wooden glazing bar division with coloured and/or star-decorated cathedral glass. The facade has two sets of balcony doors with between them a blind with segmental arch. On the upper floor in the centre a belvedere window has been placed, flanked on either side by a four-pane window with a round pane in the centre. A decorative moulding follows the gently arched form of the fanlights. The gable top is finished with vertical wooden elements and a weather vane with brick coping.

The southwest facade has three window bays. The windows furnished with Venetian blinds are in the basement provided with four-pane sash frames. The principal floor contains three six-pane sash frames with Venetian blinds. The mezzanine has a simple frieze with two small horizontal rectangular windows in a square field as well as a square element in the centre.

The northwest facade is blank with the exception of two windows in the gable top. On the principal floor the original ground plan layout and detailing have been retained. In the salon is a marble fireplace. The staircase has worked railings. Furthermore there are among other things interior shutters, ceilings with panel doors and original doors and surrounds.

Valuation

The dwelling house is of general interest because of its cultural and architectural-historical value as a recognisable example of a relatively well-preserved mansion in terms of both interior and exterior, designed by N. Kamperdijk in neoclassical style from the 19th century. Of cultural-historical value because of the client, the family Van Tuyll van Serooskerken, and of town-planning and defining value because of its location at the corner of the Dorpsstraat at the river Vecht in Oud-Zuilen near the bridge.
