Castle Garden in Arcen (Kasteeltuinen Arcen)

After posting here the miniature golf in Arcen, I would like to share the Castle garden of Arcen. It’s one of the huge gardens that I visit in the Netherlands. It’s very green because it’s all surrounded with different kinds of flowers and plants. I enjoy the place only it’s very hot during the time that we visit.

The castle was rebuilt in 1674 and the gardens restored after 1879 and again after 1988. The gardens have a geometrical formal garden around the house and a serpentine park on the fringes of the estate. The estate now accommodates garden exhibition grounds and model gardens. There is a large area of glasshouse with tropical plants. The Castle Gardens have been open to the public since 1988, with a magnificent display of flowers and plants, including a rose garden, a futuristic greenhouse for Subtropical plants, the Casa Verde, and Japanese and Chinese gardens. The pavilions in the gardens and the house itself are used for art exhibitions and other cultural events.
