Quazenbosch - The Michaëlshoeve)

The first residents of Quazenbosch were Hendrika Cornelia Colenbrander and Jacob Adriaan Sweder baron van Brakell. In 1876, the baron had had to file for bankruptcy. His wife, who had married the baron under a prenuptial agreement, signed the deed of sale in 1876 that led to the construction of Quazenbosch in 1884. The house and carriage house were built in neo-Renaissance style. The baron had a stud-deck station for Hackney horses on the estate.

Because Quazenbosch had been built with the money of the baroness' brother, large landowner Frederik Christiaan Colenbrander, the house remained in the possession of the Colenbrander family after the baron van Brakell's death in 1911. The baroness had died seven years earlier. The Colenbranders' heirs, the Van Sytzama family, sold the property with its 6.5 hectares of land in 1949. This after having lived there only from 1927 to 1933. Already during the war years and shortly after, a number of institutions sat in the building. After the sale in 1949, a remedial educational institute was set up in the manor house, Michael's Farm.
