Voorlinden offers a complete experience of art, nature, and architecture; it is an oasis in the bustling metropolitan area. The country house is the beating heart of this cultural hotspot with international appeal; 365 days a year, we welcome guests from all over the world to our restaurant there. This is often where a visit to Voorlinden begins or ends, but it’s also the venue for a wide variety of events, from small-scale meetings to large celebrations and parties. As soon as the warm weather arrives, our terrace opens, and during the summer months, guests can also enjoy the garden pavilion.
