Castle Overcinge in Westerveld

You're standing at Overcinge, a grand manor house in Havelte. The house you see dates from the eighteenth century, but the estate is much older. It's already mentioned in the early fourteenth century, as a fief held from the house of Putten near Elburg, in Gelderland. In the fifteenth century the De Vos van Steenwijk family held the rights to it.
