"Spijkerbosch" is a monumental mansion in #Olst (Overijssel), dating back to the early 17th century. Originally a grain storage, a "spieker", it was expanded into a grand mansion, with a new entrance added in 1659. Engravings by Abraham de Haen (1730) and Gerrit Toorenburgh (1759) depict the estate, with wall anchors noting 1611. In the 18th century, it served as a Catholic refuge, hosting church services, weddings, and baptisms. It was remodeled in the late 19th century in an eclectic style.
