Until 1898, the ancient village of Haarzuilens always existed right next to the castle.

The village probably originated in the Middle Ages right under the protection that the walls of Kasteel de Haar could offer the village.

The castle village has hardly developed over the centuries. About 25 thatched and tiled houses were grouped around a green with large trees. The village had an inn that also served as a council chamber.

Already in the first concrete plans for the restoration of the castle around 1891, there is talk of a necessary relocation of the old Haarzuilens for the construction of an extensive park and hunting area. That is why the new Haarzuilens will be located 1.5 kilometers to the east (the current location). In 1898 the residents were able to move into their new houses.
