Villa van Brienen

Welcome to Villa van Brienen, an estate with a mansion located on the edge of the Maasland village of Rotem. The stately home was built in the 19th century by the noble family "van Brienen" in the same period as the canal was dug. For a long time there was also a customs post for the passing ships. Meanwhile, the family "Dreessen" has been living there for 4 generations, but fair is fair, so the original name remains "Villa van Brienen".
The façade enjoys the peaceful view of the Zuid-Willemsvaart while the rear façade faces the forests of the Kempens plateau. Cycle junction 44 of the Limburg cycle route network and the Bergerven nature reserve (Limburg Landscape), of which Jean Dreessen is curator, are nearby. And the main gate of the National Park Hoge Kempen "Connecterra" is not far away.
