The Stichting tot Behoud van de Historische Buitenplaats Ockenburgh (Villa Ockenburgh) (SHBO) represents more than 150 local volunteers who have worked for a decade to renovate Buitenplaats Ockenburgh, which was founded in The Hague in 1654. We are proud to have been part of this! Volunteers still play a major role. They maintain the Villa Ockenburgh and the (vegetable) garden and organise many cultural events throughout the year. Read more about the award on the Vila Ockenburgh website.
