Scherpenzeel and surroundings, Netherlands
Scherpenzeel is a village and municipality in the Gelderse Valley in the Dutch province Gelderland, region Gelderse Valley. The municipality of Scherpenzeel includes the village of the same name with the hamlets of Ruwinkel and De Haar and part of the hamlet of Moorst. In the French era Scherpenzeel came under the province of Utrecht, but since 19 September 1814 Scherpenzeel has been a member of Gelderland again.
The name Scherpenzeel, then called 'Scarpenzele', gives reason to assume that there must have been a fortified house next to a settlement.
Huis Scherpenzeel was part of the Scherpenzeel Estate until 1975. In the 14th century there was already a fortified house on the site of the present House Scherpenzeel. It was owned by the Van Scherpenzeel family.
Halfway through the 19th century the house got its present form: a not too large, symmetrical and elegant whole: front and back facades have some columns, covered with pewter; the side walls each have two stepped gables. See the presentation.
In the vicinity of Scherpenzeel is also the Grebbelinie. This is a water line between the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the Veluwe, which was built in the 18th century. However, its fame is derived from the period 1939-1940, when the line under the name Valleistelling formed the main defence of the Dutch defence plan. After the Second World War, the casemates, tank barriers and German bunkers were covered with a layer of greenery. More than 40 kilometres of military history are now hidden in a beautiful and elongated nature reserve along Valleikanaal and Eem.
