Drakensteyn Castle
During World War II Drakensteyn Castle is partly used as a holiday resort for German children and later had it confiscated by German soldiers.
Drakensteyn Castle in Lage Vuursche is a country house in the town of Baarn. In the Netherlands, the castle best known as Princess Beatrix lived there between 1963 and 1981.
Princess Beatrix announced in 2013 that she was going to live here again after her resignation as queen. It is therefore private property and unfortunately the castle cannot be visited.
