Over Lievensgoed

Lievensgoed is a historic country estate in Bergen op Zoom, the Netherlands. It is a domain with a rich history and features a beautiful manor house and landscaped gardens. Another part of the original estate consists of sand drifts, heather gardens, and pine forests. The park, forest, and heath are freely accessible daily from sunrise to sunset. A small section of the estate is a water catchment area.

The country house at Lievensgoed boasts typical architecture reminiscent of historical country houses in the Netherlands. It houses a Bed and Breakfast and daytime café facilities. In Villa Heidetuin, a touch of France has been combined with Brabant hospitality. You'll feel a world away, yet as relaxed as you are at home. See https://villaheidetuin.eu

The estate has historical and cultural significance and history within the community in Bergen op Zoom.

The country house Lievensberg with its park, which was built around 1846, was privately owned until 1938. The woodland area was planted between 1870 and 1920.

After the sale in 1920, the country house was used as a retirement home by the Brothers of the Immaculate Conception. During the Second World War, it served to accommodate patients.
After the war, the villa served as a shelter for children, after which the municipality of Bergen op Zoom became the owner in 1959. In the period that followed, various care institutions rented the country house from the municipality. In 2015, the country house was sold and was repurposed as a catering establishment called ‘Villa Heidetuin’.
Besides the country house, the municipality established a heath garden with a large diversity of plants in 1968. In 2023, the garden was further expanded with a range of trees and shrubs, and a number of artworks. As you walk through the garden, you will find various signs with QR codes that will take you directly to the page with information about the artwork or the tree or shrub.

We have created a short walking route past the artworks and some of the characteristic trees.
