Blauwestad

Discover Blauwestad and its surroundings

What do you do when the wealth your region once amassed through grain farming has evaporated and unemployment is becoming an ever-greater problem? You roll up your sleeves and build a new village. What was once farmland is now a beautiful residential area surrounded by a large lake with a distinctive nature reserve. The residents of Blauwestad have designed their own homes or commissioned designs. The result: architectural masterpieces on the waterfront.
