Heritage history
One of the foremost national heritage building in the Dutch province of Limburg, Huize Eyll dates back to the late 1500’s with Dionysious Sutendael, later Lord Major of Maastricht, as its first owner. The original cellar vaults and supporting pillars are still in place today.
Originally the property consisted of the manor house, a horse carriage stable, a bakery and a large farm named the Hoeve de Croon. Towards the end of the 1600's Huize Eyll became property of the van Eyll family who gave it its present name. Converted in the late 1700's by Allard Jan Joseph van Eyll, the mansion acquired its present form with its imposing and strictly symmetrical southern front.
In 1789 van Eyll engaged the Swiss master plasterer Petrus Nicolaas Gagini to decorate the formal reception hall with stuccos depicting personifications of the fine arts and landscape scenes of Italian and Limburg country life.
A final conversion and renovation took place in the early 1950's when the original entrance was moved to the east front, a new northern wing was added and a free standing building was built for a separate office floor and double garage.
In the 1980's Huize Eyll used to be the official residence of Her Majesty the Queen's Governor to the province of Limburg.
