The restoration of De Haar Castle is carried out in phases. Here you see the Dove’s Tower. Parts of the scaffolding are already taken down on this side and the restored walls and red and white painted shutters are visible again.

At the moment, work is carried out on the south side of the castle. The woodwork, the brickwork and the roof are being restored. This phase is expected to finish this winter.

The main entrance and the Prison Tower with scaffolding. In November 2008 scaffolding is put up along the front outer wall. The stairs were restored in 2007.

A spectacular view of the recently restored Rose garden and Box parterre from the top of the scaffolding. The box were planted in September and the roses will return near the end of October. In June 2009,  colourful and sweetly-scented roses will be plentiful.

The painters work for months at high altitudes to restore the woodwork and paint.

The crests of armour of the Van Zuylen family are clearly visible on the freshly painted corridor.

All the roofs are fitted with new slates.

The medieval brickwork is carved out by hand so they can point the bricks again.

After months of research, the original colours of the Baroness’s Room are finally known. The restorers are repainting the room in it’s original colours. 

Here you see a restorer at work in the bathroom of the Baroness’s Room. We expect that the room will be part of the guided tour again in the winter of 2008.
