Slot Zuylen
Oud-Zuilen, Netherlands, Netherlands
Slot Zuylen is a well-preserved 13th-century moated castle in Oud-Zuilen village near Utrecht, Netherlands, along the scenic Vecht River in the Vechtstreek area. Originally built as a simple donjon tower by lord van Suilen en Anholt, it was demolished during the 1422 Hook and Cod wars but rebuilt starting in 1510, with major 1752 modifications by Jacob Marot transforming it into an elegant U-shaped country mansion featuring brick architecture, towers, and a 120-meter serpentine wall. Home to notable residents like admiral Steven van der Hagen and writer Belle van Zuylen of the Van Tuyll van Serooskerken family—who owned it from 1682 until 1952—it now operates as a museum with guided tours, historic gardens, tapestries, and furnished interiors open to visitors.
