Carriages & Castles

About this activity.

Carriages and Castles takes you into the lives of twelve historical figures of high standing, their families, carriages, and castles. Society is developing technologically, socially, politically, and economically at a rapid pace. Everyone is unique in their relationship to a changing Netherlands. How do you deal with change?

Audio Tour
In the audio tour accompanying this exhibition, key figures take you into their inner world. They are proud, indignant, pleasantly surprised, or moved. For instance, Frans van Rijckevorsel talks about the Brotherhood of Our Lady, which seeks to find common ground between various Christian organizations to solve problems. Or listen to Queen Wilhelmina, the voice of Radio Oranje during the Second World War.

Maurits van Lennep opens up about his cousins ​​Jan Pieter and Pieter Hendrik Six. After the death of their parents, they take stock of the debts. How are they to move forward? Charlotte Sophie Bentinck also has her say. Her life is often the subject of gossip…

Finally, a journalist reports live from the finish of the first international car rally on July 13, 1898, in Paris. He is proud of the participation of both Baron Etienne van Zuylen and his wife, Baroness Hélène van Zuylen-de Rothschild.
