Welcome to Veenhuizen

Veenhuizen is one of the most fascinating villages in Drenthe, known for its UNESCO World Heritage status as part of the Colonies of Benevolence. Once founded as a social reform colony in the 19th century, it now blends history, nature, and culture in a peaceful setting. Visitors can explore the National Prison Museum, enjoy scenic cycling routes, and experience the surrounding forests and moors of the Fochteloërveen nature reserve. Veenhuizen offers a rare mix of heritage and tranquility — a place where history and nature come together beautifully.
