Close to the western Utrecht ringroad is the small village of Haarzuilens. The village is dominated by the magnificent castle 'De Haar'. De Haar is owned by the Family 'Van Zuylen van Nijevelt van de Haar'. The castle was rebuilt by the architect Cuypers at the end of the 19th century after being ruined for centuries. He created a marvelous middle age style interior and very nice gardens. Guided tours through the castle are available and last 45 minutes. The castle is opened on Sundays from 1pm to 4pm, during several periods throughout the year it's also opened on Saturdays and weekdays.
Adults: 3 euros (park only), 8 euros (park and castle tour).
Children: 2 euros (park), 5 euros (park and castle tour).
