Oude Loo Castle, locally known as Kasteel het Oude Loo, lies in the gardens behind the 17th century Royal Loo Palace, in Apeldoorn, in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands.
In the name Oude Loo Castle, Oude translates to 'old' and Loo meant 'forest on sandy soil'.
Oude Loo Castle started out as a farm in the early 15th century, probably built by an Udo Taholt. Later that century it was owned by a Gerrit van Rijswijk who probably fortified the farm.
Later it came into the possession of the Bentinck family. Johan Bentinck rebuilt the castle around 1538-40 into the moated castle we see today. It was rebuilt in an U-shape when residential wings were built against the older front with the round corner towers. In those days it was used as a hunting lodge by Karel, Duke of Gelre.
In 1684 Prince William III, Stadtholder of Holland and Zeeland acquired the castle. He also used it as a hunting lodge. But because the castle soon became too small for his hunting parties he built the Loo Palace at a short distance in 1686-88.
In 1795, when the French occupied Holland, the castle was used as a military hospital and the castle fell into neglect.
In 1806 Napoleon Bonaparte appointed his brother Louis Napoleon as King of The Netherlands. Louis resided in the castle during summers. He filled up the moat around the castle because in his youth it was predicted that he would die by drowning.
In 1904 Queen Wilhelmina of Orange ordered the restoration of the castle. This was done by the famous Dutch architect dr. PJH. Cuypers who also built the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and rebuilt De Haar Castle. Also in the 1950's and 1960's restoration works were carried out. The castle is now the private property of the Dutch Royal family who use it at a regular basis. The castle itself is not accessible but the grounds surrounding it are, during April and May.

After the elder House of Orange-Nassau had become extinct with the death of William III of England in 1702, he left all his estates in the Netherlands to his cousin Johan Willem Friso of the House of Nassau-Dietz in his Last Will. However, the King of Prussia claimed them, as he also descended from the Princes of Orange, and the Houses of Orange-Nassau and Hohenzollern had, a few generations before, made an inheritance contract. Therefore, most of the older properties, though not including Het Loo, were in fact taken over by the Hohenzollerns, who never lived there. ohan Willem Friso's son, William IV, Prince of Orange, finally took over Het Loo Palace, Soestdijk Palace, as well as Huis ten Bosch Palace near The Hague. His widow later bought back several of the older properties in and around The Hague from Frederick William I of Prussia in 1732.
Queen Mary's bedroom
The palace then remained a summer-residence of the House of Orange-Nassau until the death of Queen Wilhelmina in 1962. IHer daughter, Queen Juliana, never lived there, but her younger daughter, Princess Margriet, lived in the right wing until 1975.
The building was renovated between 1976 and 1982. Since 1984, the palace is a state museum open for the general public, showing interiors with original furniture, objects and paintings of the House of Orange-Nassau. It also houses a library devoted to the House of Orange-Nassau and the Museum van de Kanselarij der Nederlandse Orden (Museum of the Netherlands Orders of Knighthood's Chancellery) with books and other material concerning decorations and medals. The building is a rijksmonument and is among the Top 100 Dutch heritage sites.

During a photowalk with www.055photowalks.nl at Paleispark 't Loo, we passed by this landscape. The landscape is familiar to me, but I had never photographed it before. During the editing in Lightroom, I chose to manually process it to black and white.
Thanks for your visit and comments! Would you like to use my photo on the web or print? Just ask :-)

Dit 15e eeuwse jachtslot werd in 1684 gekocht door Koning Willem III . De traditie wil, dat de Kroondrager dit enkele maanden per jaar van de Staat huurt.
In de maanden april en mei zijn de tuinen voor het publiek geopend. In mei, als de Rhododendrons bloeien, is het hier zeer fraai !
A deserted loo on a moody day in a remote location. Best to not go in--or even get too close. It's nice to be a man at times like these.

Paleis het Loo in Apeldoorn
Het paleis werd tot 1975 door leden van de Koninklijke familie van Nederland bewoond. Sinds 1984 is het als Nationaal Museum Paleis het Loo opengesteld voor publiek en vinden er tentoonstellingen en evenementen plaats. Het paleis is eigendom van de Staat der Nederlanden.
Paleis Het Loo beschikt over een Hollands-classicistische tuin met Franse invloeden (een vakverdeling afgezet met Japanse hulsthagen). Het is een formele tuin in de stijl van de 17e-eeuwse barok, in navolging van de renaissancetuinen van André le Nôtre, zoals bij het kasteel van Versailles.
De ene kant van de tuin is het spiegelbeeld van de andere. Er zijn meerdere fonteinen in de tuin van paleis Het Loo, met namen die verwijzen naar figuren uit de Romeinse en Griekse mythologie (zoals de Venus- en de Hercules-fontein).

Le Palais Het Loo (en néerlandais, le « Palais des Bois ») est un palais royal construit entre 1684 et 1686 à Apeldoorn, dans la province de Gueldre aux Pays-Bas.
Le palais a été la résidence de la Maison d'Orange-Nassau, du roi Guillaume III dès l'achèvement de la construction, jusqu'à la mort de la reine Wilhelmine en 1962. Les bâtiments ont été rénovés entre 1976 et 1982 pour devenir en 1984, un musée national ouvert au public, exposant en intérieurs originaux, les objets, œuvres et tableaux légués par la famille royale à l'État. Les jardins à la française ont été dessinés par Claude Desgots, neveu d'André Le Nôtre. Le palais Het Loo est répertorié dans la liste des 100 plus beaux bâtiments historiques des Pays-Bas et est visité par environ 410 000 personnes chaque année, ce qui en fait le 8e musée néerlandais en termes de fréquentation.
Histoire
Le roi Guillaume III achète le terrain de l'ancien château Het Loo à Apeldoorn avec l'ambition d'en construire un bien plus grand, à la hauteur du rayonnement des Pays-Bas au xviie siècle, siècle d'or néerlandais. Il conservera l'ancien, construisant son édifice plus près de la ville, étant stathouder.
Architecture
L'architecture néo-classique baroque néerlandaise du palais évite la grandeur imposante de son modèle versaillais pour adopter celle d'une gentilhommière. Het Loo n'est pas réellement un palais mais une lust hof, une maison de plaisir, une retraite. Le rythme des bâtiments est rompu en une série de pavillons organisés symétriquement autour de l'axe central et évitant toujours le côté massif de Versailles. Ils sont situés entre cour et jardins bien qu'ici, la cour est ornée d'une pelouse, lui donnant un air bourgeois et champêtre, convenant à la philosophie politique du commanditaire, stathouder opposé à l'absolutisme français. Guillaume III confie la décoration intérieure à Daniel Marot.
Écuries
Les écuries furent construites en même temps que le palais, et exposent de nos jours toutes les voitures utilisées par la famille royale depuis le xviie siècle. Elles conservent toujours un architecture néo-classique néerlandaise mais champêtre, étant situées dans la partie boisée du domaine. Les chevaux étaient également utilisés pour la chasse en forêt.
Jardins
Les jardins ont été dessinés par Claude Desgots, célèbre jardinier français à la fois neveu et protégé d'André Le Nôtre. Ils sont remplacés, au xviiie siècle par des jardins à l'anglaise et restaurés dans leur forme originelle, dans les années 1970. La cour d'honneur reste relativement modeste, composée uniquement de pelouse et d'une fontaine en son milieu. À l'arrière du palais, on trouve un premier jardin à la française, puis vient ensuite un autre jardin, toujours dans le même style, derrière lequel se situe le domaine de la résidence, qui est essentiellement composé de forêts, et où se trouve l'ancien château Het Loo, et la ménagerie historique de nos jours sans animaux.
