**Welcome to the biggest castle in Holland! Enjoy a fairytale experience as you stroll through the gardens and its glamorous interior. **

  • One of THE best castles to visit in the Netherlands, “Kasteel de Haar” is not to be missed. Close to the city of Utrecht, Castle De Haar has become a popular tourist sight thanks to its pretty 135 hectares of gardens, including the romantic Rose Garden, bridges, canals and more.
  • “Kasteel de Haar” is more than a beautiful sight. Everyday, you can enter the castle and enjoy a tour through its historic rooms to uncover the history of the Van Zuylen family and their luxurious tastes. Don’t miss the carrier coach from Japan - apparently there’s only two like it in the world!
  • When we say De Haar Castle offers a fairytale experience, we’re actually being literal. The castle hosts the Elf Fantasy Fair (Elfia) twice a year where everyone comes dressed up like they’ve dropped from a fantasy movie. This is the biggest outdoor costume event in Europe held at the biggest castle in Holland - definitely a unique event!
  • Be sure to walk around the castle's sprawling land to explore more of this enchanting place at the Haarzuilens Estate.
