Belmonte arboretum Wageningen

About Belmonte arboretum Wageningen

On the Wageningse Berg, a lateral moraine from the Ice Age, lies the former Belmonte estate with a magnificent view over the river area. The estate was founded in the late 19th century by Thierry Juste baron de Constant Rebecque de Villars. After the Second World War, the war-torn estate came into the hands of Wageningen University, which established a botanical garden there.
