To the right of the IJsselvliedt country house is a pigeon house in the meadow on the Zuiderzeestraatweg, probably built almost simultaneously with the manor house: ca. 1825. The dovecote is of the so-called haystack type: on four L-shaped, block-shaped plastered stakes, with a gray painted plastered basement and plastered lists, suggesting a capital, rest a square pigeon house. The facade surfaces are plastered and painted white. The corners are accentuated by plastered pilasters with a deepened field. The side façade surfaces and the rear façade face are blind. In the front facade area, 18 openings are provided in a circular-arc-shaped plane. The truncated tent roof has an overhang, resting on cut consoles. The roof surfaces are covered with a bituminous covering. On the ridge is a smaller, also square pigeon house. Six openings are provided in the front, side and back façades. It is crowned with a tent roof with bituminous covering. There is a weather vane on the ridge.
