Kasteel de Haar 
Description
Located a few miles outside of Utrecht Kasteel de Haar is an example of castle building gone made - with every possible bit of a castle you can imagine. The family that owned the castle were a key part of the social circle of late 19th and well into the 20th century high life - with their September parties drawing the most important figures and celebrities of the day. Today the castle and the grounds are open to the public to look around.
Charge
Getting There
There are half hourly trains from Utrecht Centraal to Vleuten (taking about 10 minutes) where you can pick up the 127 bus to the Eikslaan stop (6th stop, about 6 minutes). Beware this bus only runs once an hour and is operated using a mini-van, so only has seating for about 8 people. From the Eikslaan stop walk to the end of the road, where you'll be able to see the castle in the far distance down the estate road - which you can't use. Instead, turn left and then take the first road on the right and walk along that until you reach the castle gatehouse - it's about a 15 minute walk. On a Wednesday there is a number 111 bus that runs direct from Vleuten station to the castle entrance.Latitude: 52.121758; Longitude: 4.987052
