Kasteel de Haar – Grandeur and Greenery

Yesterday, my wife and I visited Kasteel de Haar in Utrecht — one of the most famous castles in the Netherlands. Honestly, I expected a polished tourist hotspot… but what I found was something truly special.

This place is jaw-dropping. From the detailed brickwork and turrets to the landscaped gardens and old trees, every corner seemed to carry a story. It’s not just the castle’s architecture — a mix of medieval inspiration and 19th-century opulence — but also the way it sits in its environment: surrounded by green, reflecting in calm waters, quietly blending power and beauty.

Despite the many visitors, I challenged myself to capture a more timeless perspective, using my Canon 7D Mark II with the 15–85mm lens and the 5D Mark III with the Sigma 100–400mm. By framing carefully, I could (mostly) keep the modern world out of the frame and focus on the castle’s presence.

Sometimes, popular places earn their fame. This one definitely did.

Last pictures from my short Luxembourg holiday in June I promise:
We travelled around the country all saturday - to the east, to the north and back towards Luxembourg city. There always was a bus or train to take towards the next place we wanted to visit. In my opinion, the state of public transit is really good.

Gorgeous view over Vianden, its famous historic castle and the mostly green valley.The front side of church Saints-Côme-et-Damien in Clervaux.A U.S. Sherman tank that participated in the battle for Clervaux on display in Clervaux.
After completing stage two of the popular Mullerthal trail we spend the next day sightseeing various attractions in Luxembourg city and the country. It was so easy and relaxing to get around on foot, by bus and tram.

Andalusian architecture stands as one of the most significant cultural legacies left by Islamic civilization in the Iberian Peninsula. It was not merely a collection of building styles or geometric decorations, but rather a reflection of the dialogue between civilizations—Arab Muslims, Spanish Christians, and Jews.
