Keukenhof Castle
Then you continue walking through the Keukenhof estate . At the beginning of the route you walk close to the impressive Keukenhof castle . This castle was built in 1642 as a country house for a former commander of the VOC. Over the centuries, the castle has been further expanded to the current structure. The castle houses a special collection of historic furniture and portraits. If you book in advance, you can take a look at the castle on Sundays accompanied by a guide.
Stroll along Leidsevaart
The last part of the route takes you along Leidsevaart, a canal that used to be an important route for barges between Haarlem and Leiden. This canal was dug in 1657. Nowadays there is no longer sailing on this water, because several fixed bridges have been constructed along the length of this canal.
