Kasteel Oud-Wassenaar, Renaissance castle in Wassenaar, Netherlands

The castle features a grand hall of 182 square meters surrounded by twelve Scottish granite columns and includes white salon, hunting room, and ballroom.

Between 1876 and 1879, Cornelis Jan van der Oudermeulen commissioned architect Constantijn Muysken to construct the castle in Delft Renaissance architectural style.

Throughout the 20th century, the castle functioned as a hotel, receiving international figures like Winston Churchill, Clark Gable, and Japanese Crown Prince Akihito.

The castle underwent major exterior restoration between 2001 and 2005, addressing structural issues including repairs to dormers and lead-zinc construction elements.

The property contained tennis courts before World War I, which later transformed into clay courts managed by Lawn Tennis Club Oud-Wassenaar.
