Frankendael is one of two remaining buitenplaats (country estates) in Amsterdam (the other is Amstelrust). 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). It was probably built largely between the second half or end of the 17th century and around 1733. It is a Rijksmonument, and owned by the municipality of Amsterdam. The building houses a restaurant and rooms that are used for various events.
