Landgoed Ursula

The Reformed minister Pieter Schoenmakers has a large gentleman's house put up on the Dorpsstraat. Out of it grew Sassenoord, and in 1935 Huize Sint Ursula.

The Ursuline sisters of Bergen are sent out to The Hague and Leiden to found boarding institutions there: Huize Angela and the Lidwinahuis.

The country house Sassenoord on the Dorpsstraat, once founded by the Revd Pieter Schoenmakers, has been bought by the St. Joseph Stichting of Bergen (North Holland) and becomes a Roman Catholic residential institution for children with intellectual disabilities — geestelijk gestoorde kinderen, in the words of the day. The house is renamed Huize Sint Ursula.

Huize St. Ursula gets a church of its own on the grounds.

Queen Juliana, on a working visit to the Rijnstreek, calls at Huize St. Ursula on the Dorpsstraat. She stayed about three quarters of an hour.

A new school with twelve classrooms and a gymnasium opens on the grounds of Huize St. Ursula, for special primary education.

Ipse de Bruggen draws up an investment plan for the period 2020–2032 for making the property on Landgoed Ursula more sustainable and renewing it.
On the 40-hectare estate – grown out of the gentleman's house the Revd Pieter Schoenmakers built on the Dorpsstraat in 1848, by way of "Sassenoord" and "Huize Sint Ursula" of 1935 – some 450 to 500 people with an intellectual disability live. Among other things eighty new care studios are being built, spread over two buildings.
