Beautiful castle.

The name Slangenburg has nothing to do with snakes, but with the Slingebeek stream that meanders through the landscape here. It was once called the "Slingeburcht," but over time, this was corrupted to Slangenburg. Thus, the estate bears the name of the stream that has been winding its way through here for centuries.

In the middle of the greenery of the Achterhoek lies Kasteel Ruurlo, home to Museum MORE and one of the most atmospheric museums in the Netherlands. In this beautifully restored castle you can admire works by Carel Willink and Fong Leng, among others, surrounded by stylish halls and a picturesque park. The combination of art, architecture and landscape makes a visit special and surprisingly versatile.

Paleis Het Loo is an original 17th century palace of the House of Orange. After the renovation, in which an extension with exhibition spaces was added under the palace, Paleis Het Loo is one of the most beautiful museums in Europe according to Prix Versailles. There are exhibitions about the House of Orange, the origins of the Netherlands and current topics.

The narrow or wide avenues are the perfect way to discover more of the palace gardens.

The castle has changed its appearance in many ways over the centuries. The current building dates from 1905 and was built by Herman Theodore s'Jacob, the scion of a noble family. His father Frederik Bernhard was mayor of Rotterdam and his grandfather was governor of the Dutch East Indies. The architecture goes back to older styles, but the interior still contains features of the Art Nouveau style that was popular at the time. The rest of the estate is still largely intact and the castle garden has also been restored with honor.

The multi-winged, baroque palace was built between 1685 and 1692 by the architects Jacob Roman and Daniel Marot near a 15th century moated castle, Kasteel Het Oude Loo. It served as a pleasure palace for the Dutch governor William III, who was also King of England under the name William III from 1688 to 1701, and his wife Mary II of England. The Dutch royal family used the palace as a summer residence until 1975. It is one of the most famous baroque palaces in Europe and was an architectural model. It is also famous for its palace park. The grounds are not accessible by bike, but the little detour is definitely worth it.
