The Baron’s Dream

It was Etienne, Baron van Zuylen van Nijevelt, who transformed De Haar into an impressive family estate and one of the most glamorous country retreats in Europe. In September, learn more about this unconventional baron and his grand dream during the castle tour “Baron Etienne’s Dream” and the September Lectures “The Baron’s World.”

You can also experience life at De Haar in September with outdoor games such as croquet and jeu de boules in the gardens, vintage cars on the estate, and concerts in the Chapel. The youngest visitors can have fun in the maze or on the garden scavenger hunt. Inside the castle, they can go on an adventure with Noet Noet, the talking castle cat, or learn about the life of the nobility during a scavenger hunt.
