Vaeshartelt Foundation

Preservation of the country estate

A country estate with NSW status, buildings registered as national monuments, and Vaeshartelt is a legally recognized Historic Country Estate Complex.

Therefore, all profits are reinvested in the park, gardens, and buildings of Buitenplaats Vaeshartelt. The proceeds from the operation of Vaeshartelt are entirely dedicated to the preservation of the country estate.

A place that once belonged to the elite is, today and tomorrow, to everyone.

The Buitenplaats Vaeshartelt Foundation has been dedicated to the preservation and development of the Vaeshartelt estate since 1992. With care for the heritage, the landscape, and everything that has made this place special for centuries.

The Foundation manages the grounds and buildings of the country estate and ensures that Vaeshartelt remains a living place. Not a museum, but an estate that is used, experienced, and shared — with space for encounter, inspiration, and new stories.

All proceeds are reinvested in the maintenance of the park, the gardens, and the monumental buildings. In this way, Vaeshartelt is preserved for current and future generations. The foundation is registered as an ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation) and, where possible, collaborates with partners and funds that contribute to the restoration and enhancement of the cultural and historical values ​​of the estate.

The board of the Buitenplaats Vaeshartelt Foundation consists of five committed members with diverse backgrounds and expertise. Together, they dedicate themselves to the long-term future of the estate and ensure careful management and future-proof decisions.

Vaeshartelt is a meeting place for the community, where there is room for entertainment and relaxation. Where respect for people, land, and the past is the starting point. Where surprise is the driving force and the splendor of the estate a gift from the past.

Therefore, we use the following principles as a compass for our course:

  • We safeguard the heritage by setting it in motion.
  • We make choices that do not inflict wounds on what must be preserved.
  • We protect everyone's freedom.
  • We are and remain a place where people come to escape.
  • We are a place where wealth exists for everyone, without judgment.

OUR ASSIGNMENT
Safeguarding a valuable inheritance to the satisfaction of the community.
OUR VALUES
Vaeshartelt belongs to everyone.

You relax and escape there with respect for yourself, others, and the place.
Here, everyone is a rich kid.
Vaeshartelt is a place that is different every day.
Wealth and splendor color the time you are there.
You come for fun, and share that with others.

Built for the elite, hijacked by the people.
Country house, estate, castle or free state.

  • Call it what you want.
  • Come whenever you want.
  • Do with it what you want.

For the next 10 years, we will play with the grandeur we inherited:
a place where we celebrate in the double sense.
Where we let go of the everyday and celebrate life moments.
Vaeshartelt promises you a place that never gets boring for the next 10 years.
A place that surprises, intrigues, and takes everyone along.
Escape and relax, with respect for our history. Leave much fixed, with respect for the future. Play with what is loose, with respect for today. Be yourself, with respect for the rest.
