Description
Begin with private pickup from your Amsterdam accommodation and travel comfortably to Muiden Castle, known as Muiderslot. This 13th-century fortress offers authentic medieval rooms and a rich history spanning over 700 years. Take time to explore its halls and the collection of paintings lining the corridors.
Next, visit Castle De Haar near Utrecht, the largest and most luxurious castle in the Netherlands. Originally medieval, the castle boasts a flamboyant history connected to the van Zuylen family in the 20th century. Rebuilt by Baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt with the help of architect Pierre Cuypers and financed by his wife Hélène de Rothschild, it displays unprecedented opulence both inside and out.
The surrounding park covers more than 55 hectares and includes avenues, winding paths, a forest, a former menagerie, a maze, a large deer park, a romantic covered bridge, and a picnic area by the pond. The geometric gardens, such as the rose garden, offer diverse scents, shapes and colors.
