Keukenhof Castle - Lisse
Keukenhof Castle is located on the same estate as the world-famous Keukenhof spring park in Lisse, where 7 million tulips, daffodils and hyacinths bloom in spring. The castle is a hidden gem because of its lush garden and rich collection.
Keukenhof Castle was built in the Golden Age as a classicist country house by Adriaen Maertenszoon Block, a former commander of the Dutch East India Company. The name Keukenhof is derived from Keukenduin, which indicated that the proceeds of the dunes, such as game, cattle, herbs and berries, were destined for the estate's household. Even today, the castle houses an important collection of furniture and portraits, among others by the 17th century painter Nicolaes Maes.
In the park surrounding Keukenhof Castle, you will find a wonderful collection of works of art that fit in beautifully with the rustic surroundings of the estate. The most striking element of the terraced garden is the hill, which was already constructed in 1694. From this hill, there is a fantastic view of the park on one side and the castle on the other.
