The Zegenwerp Estate is first mentioned in 1306. It is a fief of Oud-Herlaer, a place we will visit later in this stage. The lords of Zegenwerp held the fishing rights to a section of the Dommel River. The name Zegenwerp derives from the word “Zegen,” which referred to a specific type of fishing net. A castle was built there in the 15th century. Today, the site is home to the English-style main house, surrounded by several monumental trees, including a 32-meter-tall sequoia (giant redwood) dating from 1851.
