Kasteel de Haar, located in Haarzuilens near Utrecht, is the largest castle in the Netherlands. Originally dating back to the 14th century, it was completely rebuilt between 1892 and 1907 by architect Pierre Cuypers, commissioned by the Van Zuylen family with support from the Rothschilds. The result is a grand neo-Gothic castle surrounded by a moat, towers, and richly decorated interiors.
