Vegetable garden accessible!

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.

Beautiful Hanseatic city that is worth visiting in many ways.

Zutphen Zutphen is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands. It began as a fortified settlement in the 4th century AD. The Vikings plundered the town in 882, after which a large round fortress was built: a ring wall castle. From this fortified settlement with a count's court and church, Zutphen developed from an important center of power around 1100 to a successful trading town around 1300. The town was granted city rights in 1194 or 1195 and joined the Hanseatic League early on. Zutphen merchants were active on the Rhine, in England, in the Sound (where there were two Zutphen trading settlements) and in the Hanseatic cities on the Baltic Sea.

Staverden Castle has a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages. The current castle, partly built in 1853 and partly in 1905, is surrounded by a beautiful estate. The brasserie and brewery located on the estate are also nice. Good place to take a break!
