There is no production background known about the mansion.
The name the Plaspoelpolder was never mentioned in the show, but regularly mentioned in several Dutch books. It does not include the tree where [[Henk de Mol]] and [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]] meet. The tree and the Plaspoelpolder are also divided by the busy road. It contains mostly flat pastures, some canals and small ditches one could use a boat to pass through. It also includes the tree under which Johan's living clog is mostly stationed during the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1|first episode]].  


In 1989 [[Hans Bacher]] was tasked to make a variety of paintings to send to the studios in Japan for inspiration on how to draw the Dutch landscapes properly. Many of these ended up in the [[End Titles|end titles]] of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]]. Some of these depict very clearly what the Plaspoelpolder should look like.
