Het Loo Palace
Just northwest of the city is the 17th century Paleis Het Loo, bought by the Dutch Royal family in 1684. William III, King-Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic and the United Kingdom built out the old castle into a hunting estate, and was the home of the Dutch Royal family until 1975. A complete tour through the palace takes about 3 hours.
The Old Loo and Palace Park
A fifteenth-century castle, bought by William III in 1684. The castle itself is not accessible to the public, though the Palace Park (Paleispark) can be visited for two months of the year, usually when the gardens are in bloom. The park features a statue pond, skittle alley and a hedge maze. Additionally, several smaller buildings such as a tea house and horse cemetery are found in the park.
Though the Spainkbos itself is a very minor and unremarkable park, it houses a set of four burial mounds dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Age. The Veluwe as a whole is home to several hundreds of such graves.
The Netherlands' fifth-largest theatre, home to theatre as well as musicals, cabaret and ballet.
