Mauderslot and De Haar are two of the most famous castles in the Netherlands in half a day

On this trip you will visit two of the most famous castles in the Netherlands.

Mowderslot built in the 13th century, surrounded by a wide moat and communicates with the land with only one drawbridge. Its history is connected with the name of the valiant Count of Holland, Floris V. In the 17th century, at the bailiff of this region, the cultural elite of Amsterdam gathered in the castle. Now the castle belongs to the state and is open for excursions. The halls are furnished with furniture, decorated with tapestries, paintings and other authentic decor attributes. Here you will learn about the customs, superstitions, manners and worldview of the Dutch aristocrats.

De Haar belonged to the ancient family of barons fan Ziaulen and originally dates from the 14th century. The castle was rebuilt in the 19th century for Baron Etienne and his wife Helena Rothschild. This is the most beautiful and romantic castle in the Netherlands, with a rose garden, a park around dormant lakes and canals, a roe deer nursery and of course stories of ghosts. Every year in September, the international high society gathered here and many famous and influential people were among the guests.

Sometimes you can see a costumed tournament. The last restoration work cost about 20 million euros. So De Haar is now particularly attractive and will certainly charm you.
