In the mid-19th century, the estates Duin en Berg and Kruidberg came into the possession of the then famous politician and multiple minister, Floris Adriaan Baron Van Hall. He merged the estates, had a new villa built by the English architect Hitchcock, and also commissioned an English landscape garden. Over the years, Van Hall and the next owner van der Hucht bought up several plots of land around the estate, expanding it further and further into the coastal area. Guillaume Louis Jacques van der Hucht was the founder of several tea plantations in West Java and the tin company Billiton Maatschappij. In the Netherlands, he devoted himself to Indian trade interests from his political office. Willem van der Hucht is immortalized in the well-known classic novel Heren van de Thee by Hella Haasse. In 1895, Jacob Theodoor Cremer and his wife Annie Hogan bought the estate from Van der Hucht’s heirs for HFL 164,400. They are the founders of the current estate, Landgoed Duin & Kruidberg, as we know it today.
