Castle de Haar in Utrecht is the largest castle in the Netherlands, which was once privately owned by the Van Zuylen family and, through marriage in 1887, also by the De Rothschild family.

Because of their influence in the 20th century and much of the international jet set with its lavish lifestyle, from Coco Chanel to Brigitte Bardot, from Roger Moore to Elizabeth Taylor, they left their mark in the luxurious rooms of the most opulent place Utrecht has. The gardens are at least as spectacular as the castle itself. Stroll along water features, vegetable gardens and aviaries and discover the various French style gardens. You can also enjoy a delicious lunch in the Koetshuis.
