Slot Zuylen Castle is situated on the river Vecht in the tiny village of Oud-Zuilen near Utrecht. Whilst retaining many of its medieval castle-like features it was converted into a country mansion in the 18th century. Its most famous resident was Belle van Zuylen (Isabelle de Charrière), writer of fame and feminist avant la lettre. Slot Zuylen opened its doors to visitors 60 years ago and has meanwhile acquired museum status. Admission to the castle museum is by guided tour only, which lasts around 75 minutes. Guided tours are given in Dutch, but all are welcome to join as information sheets are available to follow along in English, French or German.
Slot Zuylen is surrounded by historic gardens, which are perfect for relaxing strolls. One of the main features of the garden is its famous serpentine wall.

The green Julianapark is one of the oldest city parks in Utrecht. Situated on Amsterdamse Straatweg in Utrecht’s Zuilen district, it is known for its lush planting and the sprawling sunbathing areas. There is a children’s farm, but the chickens are allowed to go about freely. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly find yourself faced with one on your walk!

The Rope Museum is situated in the historic centre of Oudewater, in the original ropewalk. See, hear, feel and smell the story of the ‘Yellow Bellies’, as the town residents used to be called.
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the town of Oudewater owed its prosperity to the rope industry, largely as a result of the huge demand for rope for fishing. Farmers in the area grew hemp for its fibres, which were used to make twine and rope. Learn all about this in the Rope Museum located in an old baanschuur, or winding shed.
