Holiday apartment in Serooskerke: Discover history and nature

For you as a family, the village can bring together different kinds of holiday days: historical traces, a landscaped park, summer meadows and specific opportunities to engage with the history of the village. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Serooskerke can tailor their plans to these different interests.

History that remains visible

The Johanneskerk has an impressive tower dating from the 15th century. The De Jonge Johannes windmill in Serooskerke was built in 1835. Two coin finds add particular highlights: more than 1,000 gold coins were excavated at the historic coin-finding site in Serooskerke in 1966. On 8 July 1979, a hoard containing 838 silver coins was found in a pot on Muntplein. The Wielsteen on Smidswegje was used to place hot iron tyres around wooden cart wheels and join them firmly as they cooled. These finds complement the architectural history with movable evidence from two different periods in the village’s history.

Welgelegen Park in the English landscape style

Welgelegen Park is a listed national monument. It was laid out in January 1895 in the English landscape style and features winding paths, numerous different types of trees and shrubs with strong colour contrasts, as well as a large teardrop-shaped pond. Together, these features define the park’s distinctive design character.

Villa Welgelegen: History and access

The villa now known as Villa Welgelegen was originally built under the name Vrederust on behalf of Mejuffrouw M. W. Van Vollenhoven. Villa Welgelegen is privately owned and not freely accessible.

Summer between meadows and water

During the summer months, horses stand in the meadows around Serooskerke. De Goudvijver outdoor swimming pool is a small open-air pool in the middle of Serooskerke. This adds landscapes and water as independent holiday highlights to the historical themes.
