The estate was founded by a noble family and developed over generations into a wealthy residence with art collections and elaborate gardens. It received recognition as a Rijksmonument complex in 2011 for its architectural and cultural significance.
The estate's name comes from the rose, a symbol that appears throughout the historic gardens where visitors can experience the connection between the buildings and surrounding plants. The rooms display how noble families lived and what art and furnishings they valued.
The estate is open from Tuesday through Sunday, with the castle opening at midday and the park welcoming guests in the morning. It is helpful to check ahead, as exact times and access rules can vary by season.
