We Visit the Largest Castle in The Netherlands - Castle De Haar

[@missadventure3397]

Lol! The king of Florida! Had me laughing the entire time! Thanks for such a fun video. Just subbed!

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the sub, we really appreciate it!

I spent Christmas 1960 in that castle as a young kid. I remember there was an electric toy train that occupied a whole room. My mother slept in a baldachin bed. Very impressive with the snow too much tongue-in-cheek sarcasm from that couple however

Thanks for watching!

[@gerardvansister6007]

you mean to watch.

[@Strodie567]

Awesome video! At 1:55 you talk about the moat and how it doesn't surround the whole castle. Well... you are wrong. The moat does surround the *main* castle. The structure you are standing in front of is the châtelet, an extension that is detached from the main castle. The châtelet is connected by the bridge you used to exit the main castle at 14:04 and it was *not* part of the original castle. It was designed by Joseph Cuypers, son of Pierre, the architect that directed/designed the restoration in the late 19th century,

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

You're right! Our bad! At least now we know that the castle can be protected from all angles. ;) Thank you for watching!

Castle De Haar has not much to do with a true castle. It was build in the late 19th century by the same architect of the Amsterdam Centraal Station and the Rijks Museum.

[@Strodie567]

That's not very precise. As you can see in the timeline featured at 4:14 , the original castle was built in the late 14th century. It is true that by the time Pierre Cuypers restored it in the late 19th century the castle was in ruins. But he did preserve small parts of the original structure, and the general architecture of the exterior (although he did add some elements of his own, thus the vague resemblance with some of his other works). I believe Cuypers also extended the structure of the main castle. And the châtelet (the structure that is detached and connected by a bridge) was completely new, and designed by Cuypers' son Joseph.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Thanks for clarifying! We still think it's pretty impressive no matter when it was built. Hope you both enjoyed the video!

[@dirkvanderlaarse1878]

A true castle had it's function(s) in it's day and age (military, protecting royals from their own people, prison and a home), this was only intended as a home. It's Cuypers and the family van der Haar's impression of what it once was. Historically incorrect, but architecture pleasing to the eye.

[@willeke-.-9461]

Het past in de traditie van de Romantiek. In heel Europa zijn er van dergelijke kastelen: Neu Schwanstein, (stamslot) Burg Hohenzollern, enz.

You two crack me up! 😅😂🤣

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

[@tammo100]

Basically the castle was rebuild in the early 1900s from a ruin, only a few remaining walls of the old castle.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

We did learn that while we were there. It’s still very impressive to see in person! Thanks for watching!

[@gerardvansister6007]

Hi Nate and Katrina, the castle is fairly new, it was built on top of the ruins of the old castle, which dated from the late 14th century. The restoration was done by architect Pierre Cuypers and his son and took 20 years to complete, from 1892-1912 on the instructions of the owners Etienne Gustave Frederic Baron van Zuylen van Nijevelt van de Haar, who was married to Baronesse Helene de Rothschild of the super rich family of the Rothschild (The richest family on the planet), but that's another story.

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Correct. Thanks for the info!

You two probably don't notice it yourself or you've been living in Amsterdam for too long hahah but you're already starting to get the mentality of a Dutch person hahaha

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Haha, we definitely had this mentality living in the states, maybe it’s just come out more since moving to Amsterdam! Thanks for watching!

[@jsb7975]

Got to say, you're very down to earth, and a bit sarcastic as well. (You got Dutch herritage?) And you fit in the downplaying by a lot of Dutch themselves since they regard this castle as not being very 'historic'.. Yet slowly it is getting more and more attention being one of the highlights of late neo-gothic architecture of toilets.... Additional to that, the architecture in and outside is spledid ! If one has a non snobbish eye for it. 🎉

[@nateandkatrinadotheworld]

Extremely sarcastic but no Dutch heritage for either of us (that we know of)! The castle is absolutely stunning from inside and out. And the gardens surrounding the castle are gorgeous as well! Thanks for watching!
