A figure eight through the history of Haarzuilens

Your walk starts at Geertjes Hoeve, an organic farm experience in Haarzuilens. With a farm restaurant, cheese factory and farm shop, there is plenty to do here. Via the Haarrijnse Plas you walk through the authentic village of Haarzuilens. After a stop at your starting point, you walk to Den Ham, the largest medieval residential tower in our country, which is 27 metres high. De Haar Castle is the highlight of this route, it is the largest castle in the Netherlands. The castle originally dates from the fourteenth century, the current castle was rebuilt in 1892 in neo-Gothic style. Baron Étienne van Zuylen van Nyevelt van de Haar, after consultation with the residents, also had the original village of Haarzuilens rebuilt one kilometre to the east. The current Roman garden was built on the land that became available.
