De Haar Castle

A huge castle with towers, castles, a drawbridge and a moat. Around it a huge park full of old trees, with ponds, winding paths and flowery style gardens. Kasteel de Haar is imposing and fairytale-like at the same time. Whether you visit Kasteel de Haar for the park, the halls, the wonderful history, the gardens or the deer, you imagine yourself in another world. There is a story behind every door, every detail, every flower in the colourful gardens. About other times, other cultures and other characters. Kasteel de Haar is the largest castle in the Netherlands, which was once privately owned by the van Zuylen family and where its descendants still stay every year. The international jet set of the last century, with its lavish lifestyle, also regularly visited the castle. From Coco Chanel to Roger Moore, they left their mark in the luxurious rooms of Utrecht's most opulent spot.
