The Estate has existed since the beginning of the 20th century. Until the late 1960s, it was a boarding house for children who benefited from a few weeks of learning and playing in nature. These sickly children mostly came from the big cities in the Randstad, the most densely populated region in the Netherlands. When this period came to an end, the Baan Company took over. New construction on the estate and substantial modifications and renovations to the buildings have made it into the knowledge campus it is today.
