The Chapel is opening HER doors!

Sunday, January 26 to Wednesday, January 29, 2020

Repeated due to success!

 At the foot of Castle de Haar lies the accompanying centuries-old Chapel as a last tangible reminder of the old village of Haarzuilens. From January 26 to 29, 2020, between 12:00-15:00, you can take an exclusive look inside this monument, usually closed to the public. Our hall guides are happy to tell you about the glorious history of the monument.

The atmospheric Chapel is characterized by serenity and elegant simplicity. The stained glass windows, medieval statues of saints and colorful paintings create a very special atmosphere. The Chapel's existence is first mentioned around 1420.

Baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt decides around 1890 not only to have his ancestral castle rebuilt, but at the same time to have the Chapel restored as a castle chapel. Master architect Pierre Cuypers first had the remains of Chapel and tower consolidated until the actual restoration was started in 1894. The choir and nave are built almost from the ground up, while in the transept old wall work is still being incorporated. The whole is executed in neo-Gothic style. The restoration of the Chapel is completed in 1899.

In 2019, the Chapel was open exclusively to the public for several days. Due to great success, from Sunday, January 26 to Wednesday, January 29, you will once again have the opportunity to visit the Chapel during a castle or park visit, at no additional cost.
