Doorn Attractions

North of Doorn, at the village of Maarsbergen, is Kasteel Maarsbergen (restored), which dates from the 17th century.

The Langbroeker Wetering is a stretch of territory along the Kromme Rijn, in which are a number of castles dating from the 13th and 14th centuries and rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries. The castles (not open to the public) are reminiscent of the châteaux of the Loire and have earned this area the popular name of the "Loire of the Netherlands". Among them are Beverweerd, Sterkenburg, Moersbergen, Hardenbroek, Sandburg, Zuylenburg and Broekhuizen (built 1810 in Empire style).

To the west of Maarsbergen lies the Van Gimborn Arboretum (established 1924), an area of 23 hectares/57 acres planted with conifers and deciduous trees, heath plants, dwarf shrubs and a Tsuga forest.
