Location:
Franckedael:
The building dates from 1631 and was built after the Watergraafsmeer
(then a lake) was made dry. In 1733 the house was enlarged and modernized
by Izaak Balde van Franckendael, who gave it its current name.
Burrough Oost/Watergraafsmeer, who owns the building, already had
made the garden into a classic 18th century period garden. The garden
extends into the Park Frankendael, at the back of the building.
The building will become a restaurant/café and will also
become an official marriage location.
The entrance of Frankendael is located at Middenweg 72, and can
be reached with tramline 9, from Central Station to stop 'Hugo de
Vrieslaan'. The garden and park are open to the public.
