Description
Huis Doorn is a 14th-century manor house in the municipality of Utrechtse Heuvelrug that now serves as a museum about the German imperial era. The interiors are furnished with furniture, paintings and personal items from the first half of the 20th century.
History
Wilhelm II bought the estate in 1919 after his abdication and lived here until his death in 1941. The Dutch government took over the building afterward and later opened it as a museum.
