Landgoed De Raephorst, Royal estate in Wassenaar, Netherlands
Landgoed De Raephorst is an estate in Wassenaar with forests, meadows, and walking paths spread across its grounds. The property offers a mix of open spaces and wooded areas with routes for visitors to explore at their own pace.
The original castle was built in 1230 by Kerstand van Raephorst and stayed in his family's hands for more than four centuries. After that long period under one family, the estate underwent various changes and shifts in ownership over time.
The estate maintains its royal connection as part of the larger De Horsten complex, where members of the Dutch royal family maintain residences.
Access to the grounds depends on the season, with limited hours during certain months. Visitors should check opening times before arriving to plan their visit properly.
The Raaphorsterpolder section of the estate recorded its most successful bird breeding season in ten years during 2023.
