Elegant Lady is ready! - Part 6

After months of intensive restoration, the Grand Duc of De Haar Castle is once again an absolute beauty. The dirty varnish and grease has been removed, the flaking paint preserved and supplemented, moth holes stopped, dented, leather greased and colored, polished and tiny fragments of the family crests completed. We could talk about it in endless detail, but the photos "before and after" say enough. Look and enjoy!

Mario Broekhuis (51), a stewardship graduate, feels completely at home at a historic country estate like De Haar. Moreover, he knows alles of carriagesand can tell wonderful stories about it. That's why Mario gives us a monthly update on the progress of the restoration of three carriages for De Haar on this page. The three carriages in this project come from the management of Borg and Nationaal Rijtuigmuseum Nienoord and are transferred to long-term loan by Kasteel de Haar. This project has been made possible by VZW Pater Davids, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds, VSBfonds, Stichting Bonhomme Tielens and Stichting Kasteel de Haar. The Hippomobile Heritage Foundation is supervising the implementation and providing communication.
