De Haar: the castle interior behind a timed entry

In Haarzuilens, De Haar combines richly furnished rooms with extensive gardens, with the castle and park each following their own visiting logic.

Plan your visit ↗

Rooms as a complete picture

Furniture, textiles and architecture form an ensemble in each room. Look first at function and the walking route before singling out one valuable object.

Gardens with a temporary gap

Park paths offer different sightlines onto the castle, but the Rozentuin and Buxusparterre are closed for maintenance until the end of October 2026. So do not plan a route that depends on them.

Distance and stairs

It is about a twenty-minute walk from the car park. Inside the castle, numerous stairs make a visit with a wheelchair or rollator impossible; the gardens can be visited separately.

Before you go

Book a timed entry slot for the castle, allow for the walk from the car park, and check the holiday opening from 10.00.
