Hoornwijck
Hoornwijck was a place in Rijswijk.
Gabriël de la Faille bought two pieces of land in 1707 and added them together. The first piece, 26 morning at the Hoornbrug, was taken from the estate of the widow Helman, the second piece of land of 5th of widow of master mason Adriaan Rotteveel. The genius Helman was probably in possession of the land at the Vliet since 1642. In 1712 the Hoornwijck outdoor area was already displayed on a map of Nicolaus Cruquius. Although Hoornwijck is located near the Hoornbrug, the name must also, or perhaps only be explained by the fact that the family was de la Faille from Hoorn. The two side wings of the house, of which one exists, were probably added by the sons of Gabriel de la Faille.
In 1773, Anthonie Nicolaas du Moulin bought the highly decorated goods. He called it outside Molenwijk, perhaps after his last name, but it may also be that he used the corn mill across the Vliet as inspiration. Joan Maritz, Lands Grofgeschutsgieter, bought the yard in 1800 and lived there until 1802. Dominee Jacobus Groeneveld then bought it outside, and after it died, it was owned by Johannes Anthonie Pietermaats, old ships of Leiden. He changed the name back in Hoornwijck and lived there until 1837. From 1837 to 1863 it was in several hands, after which Leendert van der Klugt from Poeldijk, later elder in Rijswijk, bought it outside. The Van der Klugt family lived there until 1934. In the meantime, part of the forecourt had to be handed over for the expansion of the Vliet.
During the Second World War, the buildings were used by the German occupier, with the result that the post-war condition deteriorated. After the war, the textile company of H.P. Beens established and by broadening the Vlietweg and building of the surrounding areas, Hoornwijck was compromised. The main building was in a dilapidated state and was bought by the municipality of Rijswijk in 1980. In cooperation with the National Service for the Monument Care, the appearance was restored to the old state. However, the right wing deflected in 1969 was not rebuilt. The maintained coat of arms above the entrance shows the year 1784. It is therefore not likely that this coat of arms was originally from Hoornwijck, but that it is from another demolished mansion. It was probably mounted by Theodorus van der Klugt on the wall of Hoornwijck in 1888.
In 2004, the municipality sold the property to Modulus Vastgoedondernemingen, which subsequently restored the interior to the original state as much as possible. The house Hoornwijck is currently a nice example of the many mansions that Rijswijk once owned.
In 2013, OOM Verzekeringen took over her in this property. From 19 August 2015, OOM Verzekeringen is the owner of Huize Hoornwijck. 52° 3′ 10″ NB, 4° 20′ 39″ OL
