monastery courtyards, the highest cathedral tower Dom and the amazing history of its origin.
De Haar Castle is one of the oldest and at the same time the most modern castles in the Netherlands. The first mention of the De Haar fortress dates back to the 14th century. Time was not too ceremonious with him: the castle was completed, rebuilt, conquered, destroyed, lay in ruins for about a hundred years, however, it still waited for its true finest hour. At the end of the 19th century, Baron Etienne van Zaulen van de Haar - its then owner - turned to the famous Dutch architect Cuypers with a request to try to restore the family nest. In the castle, everything was thought out to the smallest detail: the clothes of the lackeys, and the furniture, and the “utilities”, and the location of the chambers. Even the design of the dishes was created specifically for this fortress. Guest rooms, ceremonial halls - all of them, as, indeed, everything that is located in the castle, have a certain meaning, meaning, their zest and are in absolute harmony. So, for example, the attributes of a hairdressing salon have been located only in their places for more than a hundred years, and the history of the family can be easily "read" right on the ceiling of the Knight's Hall. All this you can see when you go on a trip.
The magnificent park is considered an integral part of the overall architectural ensemble of the De Haar castle. About seven thousand trees were brought here from all over the province, the age of which at that time was at least forty years old, in order to create the full feeling of a century-old park. For the sake of the park, the village of Harzeyulens, which existed near the castle walls for several hundred years, had to be moved a couple of hundred meters further from the fortress. Little Versailles - this is how the park of the castle De Haar is called.
