Huis Doorn

TIME : 2016/2/19 2:28:05

This 14th-century castle had numerous owners during its time, but none more infamous than Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, who inhabited Huis Doorn in exile from 1920 until his death in 1941. Castle visits are by guided tour.

There’s a fine collection of German art that it seems the Kaiser brought with him from various German palaces. Afterwards, stroll the grounds and ponder the fate of the Kaiser, who had been allowed into exile by the Dutch as long as he remained under ‘house arrest’ (some house, eh?).
