HISTORY
Summer residence of a Highness
In the mid-17th century, Balthasar Coymans, councillor and sheriff of Haarlem, Lord of Streefkerk and Nieuw Lekkerland, had De Kruidberg built on the site of an older homestead. The country house that arose there was one of the largest of its day in the vicinity of Velsen.
DINING
Restaurant De Vrienden van Jacob
Country Estate Duin & Kruidberg, the location in which Restaurant De Vrienden van Jacob is established, breaths out a certain classic substance.
The stylish surroundings form a splendid contrast with the cordial, personal way in which you will be welcomed for lunch or dinner. Our kitchen brigade prepares top culinary modern French dishes with a Mediterranean touch, under the inspired guidance of Executive Chef and SVH-Master chef, Alain Alders. Alders:
"The combination of the classic allure of the rural estate and a contemporary approach can be found in our kitchen, both in the balance between the classic and modern tones of the dishes, as well as in their presentation. Not only the tongue, but also the eye must be delighted. "Affection and passion for the art of cooking: Alders glows when he speaks about his profession.
