De Wildenborch is a historic country estate between Lochem and Vorden in the Achterhoek, still lived in by the Staring family. Its carriage house (Koetshuis) can be rented during the day by companies and private groups for team meetings, quiet working sessions and small events of up to 60 people. A guided tour of the gardens can be added to the visit.
Seminars and company events
The Koetshuis suits a team meeting, a strategy session in privacy or a small company gathering.

A group tour of the gardens, led on request, can be combined with the booking. The room has free Wi-Fi. The site does not list projectors, screens or other presentation equipment, so ask the estate what is available before you plan a program.

History and setting
The oldest mention of De Wildenborch dates from 1371, and the estate belongs to the group known as the eight castles of Vorden. The main house is largely 18th century, with a round castle tower and side wings. A farm building with a coach house attached completes the group, and the site describes parts of it as privately inhabited. The poet A.C.W. Staring once lived here. His family first held the estate in 1780, and a Staring lives at De Wildenborch today. The grounds include a park forest of more than 30 hectares, open to walkers, plus meadows and ponds. A private garden of about 5 hectares, laid out in English landscape style, opens to the public only a few times a year, during the Open Garden Days in early spring and at Pentecost. The next opening listed is the Snowdrop Days on February 20 and 21, 2027, subject to change. Guided tours of the garden are possible all year by appointment.
Getting there
The estate is at Wildenborchseweg 20, 7251 KG Vorden, between Lochem and Vorden. The site gives no further directions or parking details.
