In 1815, Crown Prince William gifted it to his wife Anna Paulowna—daughter of the Russian tsar—who added opulent touches. For much of the 20th century, Queen Juliana called it home. But the real magic lies in the sprawling park designed by landscape genius Zocher, transformed into an English-style romantic paradise with winding paths, ponds, and natural hills. Hidden gems include the Wilhelmina Chalet, a playhouse for a young princess, and an old ice cellar. Stroll through this living museum and feel the weight of Dutch royalty—and nature’s artistry—blending seamlessly across centuries.
