Lonely Planet review for Frankendael

As early as the 18th century, wealthy Amsterdammers would spend their summers in plush country retreats south of Plantage on a tract of drained land called Watergraafsmeer. The last survivor of this era is Frankendael, an elegant Louis XIV-style mansion that sparkles from its recent restoration. The house backs onto a formal garden that’s open to the public, but be sure to view the forecourt with its gushing fountain and statues of Bacchus and Ceres. The property is swathed in a larger landscape garden with walking paths, decorative bridges and the remains of follies.
