As a shop volunteer you are hostess and salesman in one and you point the visitors in a natural way to the offer in the castle shop.Detailed description
Who are we?
Whether you visit Kasteel de Haar for the park, the wonderful history, the exhibitions, the gardens, the deer or to get married, you will imagine yourself in another world. Behind every door, every detail, every flower from the colorful gardens, there is a story. About other times, other cultures, other figures. De Haar is the largest castle in the Netherlands, which was once privately owned by the van Zuylen family and where her descendants still reside annually. The international jet set from the last century, with its exuberant lifestyle, also regularly visited the castle. From Coco Chanel to Roger Moore, they left their mark in the luxurious rooms of the most opulent place in Utrecht.
The Castle de Haar Foundation is committed to preserving and maintaining the castle, the gardens and the collection. In addition, we aim to make the entire complex accessible to a wide audience.
