Like a real princess
This stately building in Leeuwarden is the former palace of Princess Maria Louise and the birthplace of Escher. Inside the Princessehof you will find a museum with special ceramics and the Escher cellar with optical illusion that is fun to view. There are creative workshops for children during the Christmas holidays.
Don’t forget your winter coat
Heating? The castle residents of the Muiderslot did not have that in the past. From December 12, 2020 to February 28, 2021, you can experience winter castle life here. And that was not always easy. Curl up around a crackling fire, wrap yourself in a blanket and listen to the winter stories. We keep our fingers crossed that it is freezing, because then you can skate on the moat.
Wander through the towers
The lights are on at Castle de Haar in Haarzuilens. This fairytale castle and the castle park are pleasantly lit by lights in the winter months. Curious how big the castle towers are inside? Children can join the Torendol guided tours of the towers. On a tablet you can see a matching movie in every room. Or do one of the three quests through the castle or the park.
