Belle van Zuylen
Ask how the life of Belle van Zuylen and her family in the castle is explained. Are there letters, books or other personal items on display? With such an item, read who it was made for and what it tells you about her life.
Tapestry Room and household
Richly furnished rooms tell not only of the residents but also of the staff and upkeep. A themed guided tour can make this less visible labour more explicit.
Serpentine wall in the garden
The winding wall from around 1742 uses shape and sun for growing fruit. Look at the curves and orientation and compare that practical function with the showpiece castle garden.
