The art was very meh. Also they don't give you a locker for your bag (corrona), then they make you take it of and carry it through the museum! Still the castle is nice and I could see it working for a certain type of person.

The museum sits in a nicely restored castle. Parts of the castle have been kept authentic and a short film introduces you to the history of the castle. The modern paintings, sculptures and dresses are well displayed.

A nice castle, beautiful collection of Willinks work. But you're done in about an hour or so. You can have a small cup of coffee for a large price at the orangerie. The garden is lovely and well tended, but also seen in half an hour or less when it isn't too busy. The place is nice and beautiful to visit, but I expected a bit more. Maybe I should have taken the tour..

Beautifully restored little castle with modern amenities. The new wooden, inlaid floors mirror the patterns in the ceiling. Very nice grounds for strolling around. Nice collection of Carel Willink paintings. The orangerie offers great food for a very reasonable price

Nice castle with Carel Willink exposition. Worth visiting. The rooms in the castle itself are a bit empty. No interieur or furniture or things like that.

Great little castle where art of the notorious artist Karel Willink is displayed on multiple floors. The castle, and it's grounds, are truly beautiful. Lush green fields complimented by trees and bushes all well maintained, cutting off most outside prying eyes. If you're up for a drink there's a nice little cafe situated near the entrance. The art on display in the castle is interesting in that Willink is not as well known as other Dutch masters, but stil very high quality. Although one should separate the art from the artist, I would not recommend reading up in this artist, but that's my opinion. My only complaint, and the reason for giving 4/5 stars, is that the attitude towards people with disabilities is not to my liking. After having taken the elevator, because the person I was with could not walk any stairs (worn out knees and ankles), we got a lecture on how we circumvented the covid security measure; and how we used the elevator without being chaperoned by an employee. This despite the reception having told us to do so alone. And on the second floor we got the same lecture, and the same disregard for a disability, which I just found a tad inappropriate. All in all a great little castle that's definitely worth visiting! Especially on a nice summer's day.
