Opening weekend Sept. 2 and 3

This coming September this old tradition will come back to life and you will experience the activity of the past at Castle de Haar. A unique look behind the scenes back in time, some 100 years ago. On September 2 and 3 you can have all your senses stimulated with the extra activities, especially for the opening weekend. Admire the classic carriages and vintage cars in the park, attend the unique church service or let the kids win a butler's diploma with the Butler Race.

Unique church service: Sept. 3, 4 p.m.

As was the case every Sunday in those days, there will be a unique church service on Sunday afternoon, September 3, at 4 p.m. in the chapel next to the castle. This service, an evening prayer, will be led by Pastor Ambting of the parish Light of Christ from Vleuten. You can attend with the purchase of a park or castle ticket! Please sign up for this, by emailing soireesseptembre@kasteeldehaar.nl with the subject line: church service. Availability is in order of registration and limited.

Butler race: September 2, 3, 9 and 10

For the youngest visitors, there is an exciting butler race in the park on Saturday and Sunday, with which they can earn a real butler's diploma. Who can finish the route fastest without dropping glasses? The Butler Race can also be done on the weekend of Sept. 9 and 10. In addition, two fun scavenger hunts are available throughout September, in the maze and in the castle.
