A Hidden Gem in The Netherlands: Kasteel (Castle) Duivenvoorde

A Hidden Gem in The Netherlands: Kasteel Duivenvoorde

This week, we visited Kasteel Duivenvoorde in Voorschoten, just twenty minutes outside of Leiden. From the road, you can't even tell that this beautiful gem exists beyond the lush greenery. The first mentions of Duivenvoorde date back to 1226, but its current appearance dates back to 1631. Duivenvoorde is unique in that it was always family-owned until it was put into a foundation in 1960 by the last owner.

There are so many beautiful antiquities and paintings to see inside the castle, and the castle grounds are just as charming. Wander the winding trails with us, and we'll show you why you need to visit this gorgeous property.

Additionally, May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we'd like to make you aware of a cause that one of our incredible viewers shared with us. Most of the information is in Dutch. If you have the means, consider donating, or if not, consider sharing this important cause. Thank you so much for your support!
