Entrance Gate
I should start with the entrance to the castle. I remember that when I was young that the castle garden was always open for free. Now a days when the owners are not at home the gardens and castle are run commercially.
The family comes over from France one month a year. Then the castle is closed. They say it's a real happening; the baron comes with all his staff which includes about 8 chefs, so they told me.
The wapon of Haarzuylens is everywhere displayed over the place and the towns around it. I could find only one picture of it however.

8 chefs? He must be huge.
Hi! Thank you for your visiting my blog. The city of Florianopolis had other names until 1894,when a important moment of Brazil´s history took place and the name was an homage to Floriano Peixoto, then president of Brazil.
Looks like something out of a fairy tale!
Now THAT's a castle! I can't wait to see more of it.
Salut Marcel! What a cool castle entrance gate! Any alligators in the moat??
What a story, it is incredible that somebody carries eight chefs with his family, but after looking at the castle I believe you!
This is my exact mental picture of a castle. Just unbelievable. I guess it's a good thing his family had the big money to restore it and open it each year.
Must be a man who really loves his food to have 8 chefs, I wonder what they all do, one for each day of the week and one over.
This gate is really great!
