Here are 5 beautiful Dutch castles for meetings and events

An inspiring venue is the key to a successful business meeting. If the entrance already makes an impression, you are instantly on your way. And what breathes more exclusivity, grandeur and authenticity than a castle? The Netherlands is bursting with beautiful ancient castles that are perfectly suited for organizing meetings, conferences and exclusive corporate events. A castle event is not only a special experience, but a strategic choice. In a setting where history and modern comfort come together, you create the perfect conditions for in-depth discussions, creative brainstorming sessions and special meetings.

goMICE selected five unique castles where business events become more than just a meeting: they become an experience that connects, inspires and moves people into action.

1. Kasteel de Haar – Utrecht

The largest and perhaps most imposing castle in the Netherlands. Think impressive towers, lush gardens and large, stately halls. Kasteel de Haar lends itself perfectly for organizing exclusive dinners, strategic sessions and high-end corporate events. The imposing setting creates a sense of grandeur and exclusivity, making participants feel particularly valued. This is a top place to strengthen business relationships. De Haar is centrally located in the country, just outside the hustle and bustle of Utrecht.

2. Kasteel Maurick – Vught

Amidst the greenery of Brabant, Kasteel Maurick offers a setting that is both calming and inspiring. Ideal for in-depth strategy discussions, important negotiations and exclusive brainstorming sessions. The combination of historic charm, modern facilities and high quality culinary offerings makes this location a smart choice for organizations looking to take their event to the next level.

3. Kasteel Engelenburg – Brummen

Meetings in style? Engelenburg Castle breathes history and exclusivity. With luxurious meeting rooms, its own golf course and a top restaurant, this is the ultimate location for leadership sessions and board meetings where relaxation, vision and strategy come together. Here it's all about making valuable connections, sharing ideas and building the future together.

4. Slot Loevestein – Poederoijen

Are you looking for an event location with a story? Then Slot Loevestein is the place to be. This iconic castle, famous for the escape of Hugo de Groot in a book chest, offers all kinds of possibilities for organizing business meetings. Think of a strategic session in the centuries-old fortress or an inspiring seminar in the Arsenal Hall. The historical setting gives every event an extra dimension and afterwards you can enjoy exclusive drinks in the castle garden. For centuries, this has been a place where strategies are forged and relationships are strengthened.

5. Château Neercanne – Maastricht

For a meeting or event with international allure, Château Neercanne is an unparalleled choice. This unique 'terraced castle' in the Netherlands is just a stone's throw from Maastricht and has a breathtaking view of the hilly Jeker valley. The atmospheric rooms and ancient caves lend themselves perfectly to exclusive dinners, product launches and inspiring meetings. The combination of luxury, excellent gastronomy, history and the spectacular location makes it a favorite for exclusive business events. This will be one of those events that people will be talking about for years to come.
