Description

Introduction

Mid-19th-century BOUNDARY STONE, near the moat of the hunting lodge Ter Horst. Prince Frederik, second son of King Willem I, acquired in the period 1838-1846 various estates in Voorschoten (Ter Horst) and Wassenaar (including Raaphorst, Eikenhorst, De Paauw, Backershagen, Groot Haesebroek, Wildrust, De Drie Papegaaien). To indicate the boundaries of his extensive estate he had boundary stones placed at the corners of his property, to demarcate his hunting grounds. This specimen does not stand in its original location.

Description

On a square base, nearly two metres high hardstone boundary stone with small chapels and moulded coping and base. On one side indicated in bas-relief 'HOEK' (CORNER), on the other side the text 'Eigen jagt van Z.K.H. prins Frederik' (Private hunting ground of H.R.H. Prince Frederik).

Valuation

The BOUNDARY STONE is of general importance because of its cultural and architectural-historical value through the typological and functional, spatial coherence with the country estate Ter Horst. The stone also has historical-geographical value as part of a larger ensemble of boundary stones, the 19th-century demarcation of the estate De Horsten, located within the municipalities of Voorschoten and Wassenaar.
