This photo shows Havezathe Den Berg, a beautiful historic estate located in Dalfsen, Overijssel in the Netherlands. The stately country house, with its symmetrical facade, tall windows with black shutters and elegant entrance with coat of arms ornament, exudes the grandeur of the Dutch landed gentry.

The surrounding garden is carefully maintained: geometric hedges, round shrubs and flowering roses reflect the formal garden style of earlier centuries.
The facade is partly embraced by ivy, giving the house a charming, natural look.
