Frankendael is one of two remaining buitenplaats (country estates) in Amsterdam (the other is Amstelrust).[1][2] It comprises Huis Frankendael and the adjoining Park Frankendael in Watergraafsmeer. The house (Huis Frankendael), located at Middenweg 72, is a historic country residence in Tuindorp Frankendaal (Amsterdam-Oost).[1][2][3][4][5], It was probably built largely between the second half or end of the 17th century and around 1733.[3][4][5][1][2][6] It is a Rijksmonument, and owned by the municipality of Amsterdam. The building houses a restaurant and rooms that are used for various events.[5]
