Holiday apartment in Warmond: village centre, Huys te Warmont and waterways

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Warmond, you can shape your stay around different aspects of the village: historic buildings, a route with a choice of lengths, walking paths through an estate or a paddling trip through the village and polder.

Holiday apartment in Warmond for culture, trails and water

The centre of Warmond was designated by the Dutch state as a protected village landscape. The historic village centre contains estates, monumental farmhouses, former schools, inns, churches and the old town hall. This gives the village centre a diverse combination of architectural history and traces of village life.

The castle-like Huys te Warmont is part of the historic character; its foundations date from the twelfth or thirteenth century. At the 23-hectare Huys te Warmont estate, you can walk among yews and bald cypresses, along old oak avenues and beside the imposing Huys. Huys te Warmont is also part of Hollandse Duinen National Park.

Noctule bats live in the hollow, still-living oaks and beeches at Huys te Warmont. One of the largest known noctule bat colonies in the Netherlands is located there.

Walks of different lengths

For active days, the “Landgoedwandelen: Warmond” route offers two clearly distinct lengths. The route is 8 km long and can be shortened to 3 km. It is signposted using the junction network and can be started at any junction you choose. The different lengths and starting options help you fit the walk into your daily plans. The longer option naturally requires more time in your walking day; the shorter version leaves room for other destinations in Warmond.

For travelling on foot, the nearest railway station is Sassenheim. From there, Warmond can be reached via junctions 47–41–40 along a 1.7 km route. The Zwanburgerroute starts and ends in the old village of Warmond. Along the route, the crossing from Koudenhoorn island to the Zwanburgerpolder is made with De heere Schouten.

Waterways, market and local traces

Warmond can also be explored from the water. In a canoe or on a SUP, you can paddle through the village and along small farm ditches in the polders. The Natuur Ontdekking Centrum Koudenhoorn can be reached from the Gemeentehaven in Warmond via the bridge to the recreational island of Koudenhoorn.

For days following the local rhythm, Warmond holds a weekly market on Saturdays; themed markets are also held regularly. Several walking and cycling routes have been developed in and around Warmond. In the past, many farmers in Warmond produced cheese, butter and other dairy products. When choosing your holiday apartment in Warmond, you can therefore make your preferred daily activities the starting point: local history, an estate, exercise, the market or water.
