Kasteel de Haar

Since then, the castle went from hands to hands several times and was heavily damaged several times, too. The last of attackers was the French army in 1672–1673. After that, Kasteel de Haar was partially reconstructed. Unfortunately, the last son of the castle’s owner Rudolf van Zuylen van Nijevelt died in 1801 and his cousin J. van Zuylen van Nijevelt inherited it. Since then, the castle dilapidated until the son of J. van Zuylen van Nijevelt, the baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt, began to renovate the it in 1890..

About the castle

The castle was given its nowadays appearance in the period of 1892–1912. Kasteel de Haar - as we can know it today - was built upon the remains of the original castle. The castle includes a large park to which many old trees were moved from all over the Utrecht Province during its construction (even 40-years-old trees were brought) . Kasteel de Haar also offers beautiful, richly decorated interiors and many valuable antiquities.
