Super sweetly received and drank the tastiest late macchiato in northern Netherlands ?

Gun turret could be viewed inside, but can be seen in about a minute. The gardens look neatly planted. Then in the tearoom less pleasant experience with a snarling managerial employee, I would not recommend the place because of this - we did not feel welcome

Regularly some cyclists or walkers who pass here. An oasis of peace. After viewing the old gun tower (you'll soon be done with that), we also walked through the historic herb garden. All beautifully in bloom in mid-June. We couldn't skip the terrace at the tearoom. Fortunately not only tea here .... The cup of coffee with apple pie tasted great. It also looks nice inside.

Château de Chantilly

The Château de Chantilly comprises two attached buildings: the Petit Château built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency, and the Grand Château, which was destroyed during the French Revolution and rebuilt in the 1870s. Owned by the Institut de France, the château houses the Musée Condé. It is one of the finest art galleries in France and is open to the public.

The estate"s connection with the Montmorency family began in 1484. The first mansion (now replaced by the Grand Château) was built in 1528–1531 for the Constable Anne de Montmorency by Pierre Chambiges. The Petit Château was also built for him, around 1560, probably by Jean Bullant. In 1632, after the death of Henri II, it passed to the Grand Condé who inherited it through his mother, Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency.

Several interesting pieces of history are associated with the château during the 17th century.
