The 19th-century orchard, full of apples and pears in autumn.
The chapel hall used for the church ceremony.
The great hall where dinner is served.
The moat that still rings the manor’s grounds.
“Joost lives on the estate himself and you can tell, he was involved with us the entire day, not just during the tour beforehand.”
“We got married in October and the orchard was hanging full of apples and pears, exactly as Joost had promised. Our photographer couldn't stop shooting.”
“The moat around the grounds gives the manor something awe-inspiring, especially as you walk into the chapel hall for the ceremony and look out over the water afterwards.”
“With 220 guests the great hall was just full enough without feeling cramped. Everything ran on time, from ceremony to dinner.”
“One small downside: parking on the forecourt filled up quickly, but Joost arranged extra space in the adjoining field within ten minutes.”
“One of the last true fortified manors around Haarlem, and you feel it with every step across the grounds.”
