Kasteel De Haar

Dehar Castle is located in a small town called Haaruilens near the Dutch city of Utrecht. Dehar Castle is a typical European medieval castle, towering towers, palace-style gardens surrounded by moats and suspension bridges, like a dream castle in a fairy tale world. Need to buy tickets to go in, February is still very cold, there are not many tourists to visit.

The castle in the Netherlands seems to be not as famous as other castles in Europe and the United States. But in fact, there are too many famous castles like Swan Castle, and they can't look good at all. Instead, the castle in Dehar is worth seeing.

The Dehar Castle in Utrecht (DE HAAR CASTLE UTRECHT) is the largest and most beautiful castle in the Netherlands. The moat is surrounded by suspension bridges; the towering towers, the red brick walls, the red and white doors and windows are like dream castles in the fairy tale world.

To Utrecht, it is highly recommended to go to this castle. The latest price on July 29 is 16 euros for adults and 10 euros for children. The price is a bit high, but we played for a full 5 hours and it was worth it. Don't take the train there, we were fooled by the poor travel guide and wasted 12 euros. The fastest and most cost-effective way is to take the 9th bus from the bus stop in front of the Central Railway Station, and the whole journey is 2.7 Europe. There is an English explanation inside, which is very convenient. There are not many people, few Chinese, not many teams, very quiet. We were still there for a picnic, and the kids were playing with small animals on the grass, identifying plants, and having fun.

Very beautiful castle, just went today. Going with a friend, a Dutchman. It can be said that I took him there. He has not heard of this place. I found it online. (Domestic website) The castle with a high evaluation. He drove me to take me. Parking is 4 euros (cart) and can be parked for a day. It is said to be a castle, it is also a private mansion (used to be), so once over the moat (similar to the moat), it is a place where horses were raised (friends told me), and it is currently a square for rest and dining. The inside of the square is the ticket office. On the left side is the online ticket sales, on the right side is the manual ticket sales, the ticket sales queue is not fast, 3 people are about 10 minutes, there is no vending machine. Tickets for adults are 14 euros, if you don't enter the castle, only visit the garden (the territory outside the castle) is 4 euros. This is the current price, between online saw said 5 euros, should be a long time ago. After buying the ticket, I entered the garden, the garden naturally has many flowers, and there is a stone tablet on the right side of the castle. I asked my friend what he wrote, he said it was in French, probably from 1912 to 1913 a Frenchman (see the name is a woman) designed the garden, but fortunately he also ordered French. It's strange that it was 1912? The 17th century castle is said on the Internet. Colleagues said it is possible that the castle is old, but the garden is designed after the design, and it is reasonable. However, why is it designed by a Frenchman, leave a question for now. The garden is very large and simple to walk, there is a physical maze, but it is not difficult to go out, the left left and left, see the fork, press this trick to find a brand with A, is victory, very simple. Then, we entered the castle, there was a ticket machine (that is, scan the QR code) and a supervisor, which was more reasonable in the eyes of the Chinese. Unlike Germany, no one checked the ticket anywhere, and there was a sense of waste when buying the ticket~ I laughed. I went in and someone sent a map and told you how to visit, and later found that in fact (the open part) is small and the map is not very meaningful. First of all, it is a TV, playing the history of the castle, Dutch, with English subtitles, roughly meaning that the castle was built in the 17th century, the family fell, the 19th century was dilapidated, look at the photos, only one tall, one short two buildings. At this time, this heir (the name is very long, Baidu), married a French daughter-in-law, or a rich daughter-in-law, and then rebuilt the castle, said to be rebuilt, basically all new. That is, this castle is only 100 years old. This is one of the reasons many people on the Internet say that the castle is beautiful because it is closer to modern people's understanding of the castle. In the words of a Dutch friend, this is a villa that looks like a castle, and the purpose is to show his wealth. No actual defense and war functions. But it is luxurious and modern, a castle with modern equipment such as elevators, toilets, billiards, a lot of Chinese porcelain. The castle is large, but only open on the first and second floors of the main castle, the first floor room former kitchen and cold storage, the first floor is the hall, you can dance, play billiards, etc., children's entertainment room, restaurant, and dressing room, etc., the second floor is the hostess's bedroom, study, and living room. The order of the room is a bit unclear,

A trip that said to go, Belgium tickets sold out, transferred to Utrecht, encountered Dehar Castle, very typical European medieval castle, towering towers, palace-style gardens surrounded by moats and suspension bridges, countless construction craftsmen, carvers, Gardeners and various artists, together, spent nearly 20 years, finally completed this recreated family glory masterpiece, like a dream castle in a fairy tale world, the focus is on the bedroom placed blue and white porcelain, dragon and phoenix screen, worship the god of wealth, All I can say is that the baron has taste [laughing] [laughing] [laughing]

It is one of the few castles that is still inhabited, and the owners of the castle come here every September for a big party. Photos are not allowed to be taken during the tour of the castle. The inside is from the kitchen on the basement floor, and then go upstairs to visit the restaurant, central hall, knight hall, beauty hall, ballroom, guest room one, guest room two, hostess bedroom, study, baron bedroom, etc., roughly these, It may not be accurate to remember, the luxury of the entire castle interior is imagined for yourself.
