Back in time at Heeze Castle

Heeze Castle is one of the last inhabited castles in the Netherlands. The castle consists of the medieval castle Eymerick and a newer 17th-century castle. Both have their own courtyards. Part of the castle can be visited as the van Tuyll family still lives in part of this impressive building. Admire the richly decorated 18th-century bathroom and wander past 17th-century tapestries. Tours are held regularly. Check the website of Heeze Castle for the next opportunity.
