Calatrava designed three striking white cable-stayed bridges, each with a healing steel pylon that have both an aesthetic and a constructive function – typical of the Spaniard’s work. The bridges were given the names ‘Harp’, ‘Citer’ and ‘Luit’ because of the string-like cables.

The beautiful estate, a serene oasis in the Randstad, is a 160 year old organic fruit cultivation company. Besides the 60.000 apple- and pear trees you’ll also find historical buildings with unique venues for business meetings. These are spread out across the estate and all of them have their own unique atmosphere. Due to the vast amounts of space outside these venues, The capacity is always expandable by use of various styles of tents. The estate features fields and all required facilities to organise an outdoor festival. Due to the favourable location between Amsterdam, Haarlem, Leiden and The Hague, a company away day can be held nearby. Just like they produce their fruit organically, when it comes to food and beverages they make use of organic or sustainable ingredients for our lunches, drinks and dinners. During or after a business meeting the staff of the Olmenhorst Estate can arrange a variety of activities, such as a cooking-class or partner up with some of the ateliers and shops situated on the estate to organise a creative or sportive activity. In April you can enjoy 60.000 blossoming fruit trees and in September and October you can pick your own fruit.

Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen is art, her­itage and na­ture in one. The mon­u­mental Fort bij Vijfhuizen is one of the first con­crete build­ings in the Nether­lands and part of the De­fence Line of Amsterdam; a large-scale 19th-cen­tury de­fen­sive plan that was never com­pletely put into ac­tion, and has been de­clared a UNESCO World Her­itage Site in 1996. Since 2005 the is­land is a des­ti­na­tion for art, a unique lo­ca­tion where vi­sual art, mil­i­tary her­itage and na­ture come to­gether. The ex­hi­bi­tions mirror the fort’s sur­round­ings: a col­lage of en­gi­neered land­scapes show­casing the de­ploy­ment of na­ture for a wide range of—now often out­moded—pur­poses.
