26/12/2017; Gave myself a Christmas gift, last Boxing Day, by having visited Kasteel de Haar. A castle I haven't visited ever before, despite being situated relatively close to where I live. Sometimes it's nice to play tourist in my own country.

De Haar Castle (Dutch: Kasteel de Haar) is located near the village Haarzuilens, in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands.

De Haar Castle is the biggest and most luxurious castle in The Netherlands and one of the top European historic houses.

The current buildings, all built upon the original castle, date from 1892 and are the work of Dutch architect P.J.H. Cuypers, in a Neo-Gothic restoration project funded by the Rothschild family.

The oldest historical record of a building at the location of the current castle dates to the thirteenth century.

 

Kasteel de Haar (vroeger Het Huys te Haer) is een kasteel bij Haarzuilens, vlakbij Vleuten in de gemeente Utrecht.

Het oudste middeleeuwse kasteel De Haar is waarschijnlijk al in de loop van de 13e eeuw gesticht op een hoger gelegen oeverwal langs een zijtak van de Rijn. Hoe de eerste bebouwing er precies uit zag is niet met zekerheid te zeggen. Vermoedelijk ging het om een versterkte woontoren op een omgracht perceel.

Na herhaalde aanvallen en verwoestingen werd het kasteel telkens hersteld en uitgebreid. Eind 18e en begin 19e eeuw werd het kasteel niet meer bewoond en aan het einde van de 19e eeuw restte er niet meer dan een romantische ruïne.

In 1890 erfde baron Étienne van Zuylen van Nyevelt van de Haar (1860-1934) de kasteelruïne van zijn vader Gustave van Zuylen (1818-1890). Étienne was op 16 augustus 1887 in Parijs getrouwd met barones Hélène de Rothschild (1863-1947), een erfgename uit de Franse tak van de rijke bankiersfamilie De Rothschild. Mede dankzij haar fortuin had Étienne de middelen om het voorvaderlijk kasteel op een grandioze manier te laten herbouwen.

Vanaf 1892 werd op de ruïne van het oude kasteel herbouwd in de huidige neogotische stijl door de beroemde architect Pierre Cuypers. Het werd gelijk het grootste kasteel van Nederland.

Naast het kasteel is toen ook een kapel gebouwd.

Voor mijn 80ste verjaardag had ik cadeaus gevraagd in de vorm van een "uitje". Mijn nicht, haar man en hun twee zoontjes trakteerden mij op een lunch en een bezoek aan de schitterende tuinen van Kasteel De Haar. Het was geweldig.

Entrance to Kasteel de Haar. The biggest castle of the country. Originally from the 14th century. At the end of the 19th century it was a ruin owned by baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt. He married Hélène de Rothschild. The rich Rothschild family financed the rebuild which completed in 1912.

 

At the end of the previous century, the castle was in bad shape again. Due to subsided ground underneath the castle, the maintenance had become too expensive. In 2000, the Van Zuylen family handed it over to Foundation De Haar. With the help of lots of sponsors, it was renovated. Today is looks fantastic and is operated by volunteers.

 

My visit was excellent! I booked a guided tour called: The Secret Rooms. Staff is nice and has great stories about the building. Interiors are very detailed and look great.

Castle De Haar is located near Haarzuilens, in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands. The current buildings, except for the chapel, date from 1892 and are the work of Dutch architect P.J.H. Cuypers, in a Neo-Gothic restoration project funded by the Rothschild family.

ENGLISH:

 

The oldest historical record of a building at the location of the current castle dates to 1391. In that year, the De Haar family received the castle and the surrounding lands as a fiefdom from Hendrik van Woerden. The castle remained in the ownership of the De Haar family until 1440, when the last male heir died childless. The castle then passed to the Van Zuylen family. In 1482, the castle was burned down and the walls were destroyed, except for the parts that did not have a military function. These parts probably were incorporated into the castle when it was rebuilt during the early 16th century. The castle is mentioned in an inventory of the possessions of Steven van Zuylen from 1506, and again in a list of fiefdoms in the province Utrecht from 1536. The oldest image of the castle dates to 1554 and shows that the castle had been largely rebuilt by then. After 1641, when Johan van Zuylen van de Haar died childless, the castle seems to have gradually fallen into ruins. The castle escaped total destruction by the French during the Rampjaar 1672.

 

In 1801 the last Catholic van Zuylen in the Netherlands, the bachelor Anton-Martinus van Zuylen van Nijevelt (1708–1801), bequeathed the property to his cousin Jean-Jacques van Zuylen van Nyevelt (1752–1846) of the Catholic branch in the Southern Netherlands.

 

In 1887, Jean-Jacques' grandson, Etienne Gustave Frédéric Baron van Zuylen van Nyevelt van de Haar (1860–1934), married Baroness Hélène de Rothschild, of the Rothschild family. When Etienne inherited the ruined castle in 1890 from his grandfather, the couple set about rebuilding the castle, fully financed by Hélène's family. For the restoration of the castle, they contracted famous architect Pierre Cuypers. He would work on this project for 20 years (from 1892 to 1912). The castle has 200 rooms and 30 bathrooms, of which only a small number on the ground and first floor have been opened to be viewed by the public. Cuypers placed a statue of himself in a corner of the gallery on the first floor.

 

The castle was equipped by Cuypers with the most modern gadgets, such as electrical lighting with its own generator, and central heating by way of steam. This installation is internationally recognized as an industrial monument. The kitchen was for that period also very modern and still has a large collection of copper pots and pans and an enormous furnace approximately 6 metres long, which is heated with peat or coals. The tiles in the kitchen are decorated with the coats of arms of the families De Haar and Van Zuylen, which were for this purpose especially baked in Franeker. Cuypers emphasized the difference between the old and new walls by using different kinds of bricks. For the interior Cuypers made extensive use of cast iron.

 

Many details in the castle refer to the Rothschild family, such as the Stars of David on the balconies of the knight's hall and the coat of arms of the family right underneath on the hearth in the library. The coat of arms of the Van Zuylen family are omnipresent. Their motto is on the hearth in the knight's hall (A majoribus et virtute)

ESPAÑOL:

 

El Castillo de Haar (en neerlandés: Kasteel de Haar) se encuentra cerca de Haarzuilens, en la provincia de Utrecht en los Países Bajos.​ Los edificios actuales, todos construidos a partir de 1892 sobre el castillo original del siglo XIV, son obra del arquitecto holandés Pierre Cuypers, en un proyecto de restauración neogótica financiado por la familia Rothschild.

 

El más antiguo registro histórico de un edificio en la ubicación del castillo actual data de 1391. En ese año, la familia De Haar recibió el castillo y las tierras circundantes como feudo de Hendrik van Woerden. El castillo permaneció en la propiedad de la familia De Haar hasta 1440, cuando el último heredero varón murió sin hijos. Pasó entonces a manos de una rama lejana de la familia, los van Zuylen, y ya a finales del siglo XIX, Etienne Gustave Frédéric, barón de van Zuylen van Nyevelt van de Haar, casado con Hélène de Rothschild pudo restaurarlo.
