Castle De Haar is one of the most famous and visited castles in all of Holland and was originally founded in the late 1300’s by the Van de Haar family, whose standing in society allowed them the comfort of building a fortified abode.
By 1449, the castle became the property of the Van Zuylen family thru marriage. In 1482, the castle was destroyed due to differences of opinion (quarrels) between the city of Utrecht and its bishop
By the 17th century, the Van Zuylen family line had become extinct and the castle was inherited by the Van Stembors, who originated from the south of Holland - present day Belgium. French soldiers attacked and damaged the castle during the years 1672 and 73.
In 1801, Castle De Haar passed to JJ.van Zuylen van Nijevelt, a distant cousin of the Zuylen family. JJ had inherited a castle that was in a poor state of repair due to 200 years of neglect. Upon his death, these magnificent ruins passed to his son Baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt in 1890.
The rebuilding of the castle was started in 1892 under the guidance of one of Holland’s most famous architects Dr PHJ Cuypers. It is his influence on Castle De Haar that we see today. PHJ Cuypers rebuilt the castle as close as possible to the original outlines and were there was not sufficient material to work with he used his own ideas of what a medieval castle should look like. The interior was rebuilt to a luxurious standard with the inclusion of electricity. A new bailey with an entrance gate was built on its original foundations.
Today the castle is surrounded by parkland but this was not always the case. From the medieval period to the end of the 19th century, the village of Haarzuilens had been surrounded the castle. Haarzuilens was completely demolished and relocated some one and a half kilometres away to the west. The village chapel however was saved from this wilful destruction and incorporated into the new park.
Castle De Haar is now a museum and opens to the public except during the month of September when the Van Zuylen van Nijevelt family turn it back into a home for their month long stay.

Now that I know the overall size of this thing I started on rebuilding the wings. Previously all three levels were identical which I really didn't like but I kept them as a placeholders. To break up the monotony I added portics on the ground floor and with a balcony above it. As always I had a blast building this small roofs with the light bluish grey cornice around the front. West wing is rebuild in the same manner.
The next part I really wanted to change was the area located under each window on the first and second floor. I switch the previously used light bluish grey slopes to a small windowsill's in tan.
I also started adding more and more details, this time:
a) convex bars are added to all windows on the ground floor - based on driod's arms and crowbars
b) external lamps are attached to the pilasters - I have run of out black sausage pieces :(
c) hanging flower pots - I have spent a ridiculous amount of time building them, not because they were hard but because it was so enjoyable to use bizarre colors like green or red for a change :)
d) gutters are changed a little bit to add a small inspection ports
As a result of adding the porticos now I need to rebuild the base because the wings are simply too big... oh well, 6th time is a charm they say :)
Next I'm going to rebuild the circular front but for that I need my bricks and pieces package for which I'm waiting like forever :)

Tynemouth Priory ruin. The medieval gothic architecture of the ancient weather beaten east end. The great height of the church has an unusual upper level above the main body of the church. The reason for this is unknown but as this site was attacked many times by the Vikings it is thought that it might have been some kind of safe house. The graves around the ruin are not from the same era.
