This coming weekend, from 17 to 20 May, the Day of the Castle will be organised. This year, the annual event celebrates the gastronomic traditions that have taken place at castles and country estates for centuries. We will therefore share four stories about the food culture of castles and country estates, entirely in line with the theme of the event.

Each estate often had its own vegetable garden, a lot of kitchen staff, an extensive table etiquette and tableware for every occasion. Eating was seen as a way to share luxury and wealth. With that you could impress your guests. That is also how it was done at our monuments. From hunting in the forest to drinking games in the cellar: these stories give an insight into life at a castle or country estate.

Castle Day

The Day of the Castle aims to put the special castles and country estates of the Netherlands in the spotlight through this event. During the weekend, all kinds of activities are planned throughout the country. For example , from May 18, you can take a guided tour at Slangenburg Castle for the first time! There is also plenty to do at Radboud Castle and Assumburg Castle .
