Villa Favorita (later named Hoog Wolde) was designed by architect A.L van Gendt in 1874. The villa stood on 't highest point of a sloping lawn on the Oude Utrechtseweg in Baarn. The villa was long used as an office and was demolished in plm 1995 to make way for 3 modern buildings. The coach house erected in 1878 was spared and still stands today behind the 3 buildings. In 1950, Philips moved its administrative branch of the Phonograph Industry to "Hoog Wolde" in Baarn. Hoog Wolde was purchased by Philips from the Sandberg family for this purpose. In 2018, the Municipality of Baarn considered demolishing the buildings but in 2023 it was decided to renovate the 3 buildings into flats. At the end of 2024, we new residents were allowed to move into the building on this beautiful site. I hope this beautiful historical plate gets a nice place on the wall at our place in Hoog Wolde!
