Admire the wealth and beauty of Dutch castles and country houses. An ode to the rich country side through the ages.

Holland counts more than 700 castles, country houses and rural estates. That's a well kept secret that we would like to unveil. These typically Dutch historic houses and gardens are built bij rich merchants and nobility from the 17th and 18th century.
