Duration: 9 h
Our first stop in this tour will be at Duivenvoorde Castle where you will listen many stories. Make a visit to the castle museum, take a walk through the park, and be amazed by the rich history of the castle and the estate.  The castle itself is originally Medieval, but now has more of a seventeenth and eighteenth century style. Duivenvoorde Castle dates back to the early 13th century, making it one of the older castles in Zuid-Holland. The castle is remarkable in the way that it was never sold; it was inherited by several different noble houses, sometimes through the matrilineal line, something that can be said of very few Dutch castles.  A guided tour passes through the castle's stately rooms, furnished as though they were still in use. The estate also boasts an exceptional collection of 17th and 18th century family portraits, silver, Delftware, Chinese and European porcelain. Our next stop in this tour we will make at Delft which is known for its blue and white ceramics and beautiful old town.
