Holiday apartment in Rozendaal: discover culture, parks and nature

Rozendaal is known for its appealing combination of castle history, park culture and nature experiences. Kasteel Rosendael was founded around 1300 by Count Reinald I of Gelre. At the same time, the castle looks back on almost 700 years of habitation, beginning in the Middle Ages, when the counts and dukes of Gelre resided here. When you choose a holiday apartment in Rozendaal, these historic sites can form the cultural focus of your trip.

Castle history and park culture

Park Rosendael is one of the oldest parks in the Netherlands. Its design features include the Bedriegertjes fountains, which were added from 1721 onwards. The paths are also suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs. This makes the park a practical destination for a variety of day plans when you want to combine historical impressions with a more leisurely walk.

Hiking and cycling around Rozendaal

For longer hikes, the Rondje Rozendaal route is available. The route is 17 km long and passes Kasteel Rosendael, the Posbank and Herikhuizerveld.

The Natuurmonumenten nature reserve near De Imbosch is easily accessible to pedestrians and cyclists. Several well-signposted cycling routes also run through the Rozendaal nature reserve. The “Langs kastelen en landgoederen – Oost” cycling route begins at Kasteel Rosendael. When choosing your accommodation, it may therefore be decisive whether you want to spend your days hiking, cycling or visiting the castle.

Protected village landscapes and distinctive interiors

The old centre of Rozendaal is designated as a protected village landscape. The De Imbosch nature reserve is also designated as a protected village landscape. These two designated areas create different focal points in the perception of the village and landscape. The church of Rozendaal and its interior furnishings are designated Rijksmonuments. The church also contains a monumental wall painting from 1905.

When visiting the sites, you can choose between different options: Kasteel Rosendael can be visited independently, with a guided tour or as part of an activity. The church of Rozendaal and the orangery can be visited by appointment. This allows you to include the castle, church and park in your stay according to your preferred balance between independence and scheduled visits.
