Huize Beuk

About this location

Huize Beuk is still standing and not demolished, and the site remains freely accessible from the staatsbaan. A small white outbuilding sits among trees, its left side heavily ivied, with a dark opening in the front wall and fallen brown leaves covering the ground and much of the roof. Inside, decay is well advanced: a dirty white utility room with a wall-mounted electrical panel and meter is strewn with dry leaves, dirt, a fallen terracotta pot and scattered objects, while an empty tan-walled room with a tiled ceiling and two windows holds piles of crumpled fabric, cardboard boxes, a blue SPA container, a green barrel and wood scraps. In another room, a brick fireplace, closed white door and open window with debris on the sill frame a floor of trash, rubble, bottles and tangled rope, with a Kettler box beside a red-and-white striped chair.
