Zuylestein Castle, Renaissance castle in Leersum, Netherlands.

The castle exhibits a Renaissance design with gardens, surrounded by the natural landscapes of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug region.

Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, acquired the castle in 1630 and later granted it to his son Frederick, who became Lord of Zuylestein.

The estate functions as a sustainable agriculture center, producing local grains and maintaining traditional Dutch farming practices.

Visitors can explore the walled gardens, visit the artisanal shop for local products, and enjoy refreshments at De Oranjerie café during weekends.

The estate raises wild pigs that roam the property, contributing to the sustainable meat production program of the castle grounds.
