Exhibition 'Tour Under the roof' in Castle De Haar
The unique tour 'Under the Roof' is the perfect opportunity to literally go under the roof tiles of the castle, up in the towers, and onto the battlements. Explore areas in the castle that are normally closed to the public. You rarely get this high up in the castle!
During this exploration, ascend the spiral staircases to hidden spaces, narrow corridors, tower peaks, attics, and battlements high above the ground. Only accessible during this exclusive tour.

Architect Pierre Cuypers had a great fondness for towers and unique roofs. During the reconstruction of Castle de Haar, he didn't hesitate to add, elevate, and crown (with a crown-like top) towers. He increased the Knight's Tower to a height of 36 meters, added a floor to the Pigeon Tower, and equipped them with wooden battlements.
During 'Under the Roof,' you'll get a glimpse of Cuypers' 'tower madness' and discover the function of the towers and battlements. For example, why is the Pigeon Tower named that way? It's a behind-the-scenes tour of the castle.
