Castle Heeswijk and Brabants Landschap Together inseparable
natural pool
The estate consists of an alternation of old venerable deciduous forest, former coppice and fields and meadows, all situated in the valley of the river Aa. Due to the straightening of this brook in the first half of the 20th century, the brook valley had become seriously desiccated. Fortunately from the 1980's the realisation grew that dehydration is just as bad as flooding and that you have to 'store' the water in the right places.
Because the estate has been designated by the government as a 'Wet Nature Area', the Aa has been (re)designed as a natural stream over a length of 15 km. This is favourable for kingfisher and meadow creek juggernaut. Adjacent meadows are flowery again. A meander that was cut off in the thirties has been reconnected to the brook, allowing current-loving fish such as the little barbel to pass through an obstructing weir.
Castle Heeswijk is inextricably linked with Brabants Landscape. Together we ensure that a visit to the Heeswijk estate is one you will not easily forget.
