A beautiful garden, in spring/summer many beautiful flowers. Some nice places and corners where you can sit in the grass, also some benches. A small manually operated ferry fun for the kids. No tickets required, free entry.
Not a very large garden but you can combine it with a walk in the larger Maxima park.

Immaculately maintained, beautifully maintained all year.
Schöner kleiner Innenhof, allerdings eher überlaufen.
A small group of us stopped by on the way back from Amsterdam. The place is beautiful, and the employees throughout the castle were very knowledgeable. We ate at the little restaurant which just recently opened. The food was pretty good, and our server was very polite.
It is the most beautiful castle I've ever seen in the Netherlands. Nice garden, deer... But the park and muddy paths in the park could be better.
A brilliant archutectural monument to ancestors, style, design and talent! We have visited the castle just around Christmas in a very rainy weather, even then the gardens look good, I can imagine how beautiful they are in spring/ summer and autumn. I will definitely return!
Nice place to visit. It's easy to reach from the city centre (buses 28 and 111), and the self-tour inside the castle is well sinalised and oriented by friendly employees. The castle was built in the 1300s, but was actively inherited and used all these centuries, so there are a lot of history and details inside. Very well kept. The gardens/park are very beautiful and I believe that in summer it's even nicer, as picnic is allowed. Good to go with all the family.
This was absolutely magical, I loved every minute of visiting. It would be a 10/10 no matter what - the castle and the interiors are simply breathtaking - but I just wanted to drop by and say CONGRATULATIONS to all the staff, everyone was incredibly warm, welcoming, and excited to share little curiosities and insights about the castle's history. A truly special experience, can't recommend it enough!
An absolute must see when visiting the central part of the Netherlands. It’s close to Amsterdam and Utrecht. Very large castle, so well maintained and preserved. Also very relaxing walks with lots of benches possible trough the parks and gardens around the castle. The inside of the castle is amazing, don’t forget to visit the gift shop there, and the restaurant is also very yummy (near the entry).
It was one of the most beautiful castles I have seen. It is very well kept and the guides are friendly, helpful and very informative. The fact that the family comes back yearly to keep up the traditions is great.
History is preserved very well. The gardens are well taken care of and it is so peaceful. We had a picnic in the garden.
The shop is also well worth a visit as is the restaurant.

Well worth a visit.
A beautiful castle with big lush beautiful gardens and ponds. The moment you enter insider it makes you go to the same era. Beautiful bed rooms, hall ways, galleries, the living area and powder rooms still feel alive. The main hall, roof and walls and magnificent. If you have museum card this is covered. You can enter easily. It is in calm and conent place. The cafe is large but full. The gardens and good to go for a picnic. Highly recommended for visit. The walk space and gardens are large to wear comfortable shoes. Enjoyed the overall experience.
Sehr schöner Kreuzgang. Viel Andrang.
There are so many varieties of flowers and it's a really well maintained area. It is a unique place especially for flower photographers, I definitely recommend it.
A really peaceful place, ideal for some great photoes
Very beautiful architecture it’s full of history love it!
This place comes to life in summer. It is very beautifully maintained and has vibrant variety of colourful flowers and grass.
A really nice pandhof with nice architecture and a quiet atmosphere even though it was full of tourists we still enjoyed the visit and were able to seat and enjoy the view.
Beautiful place where you can have a nice break just sitting down and enjoying the beautiful architecture of the arcades, arches, spiers etc. I enjoyed my time looking at the so many particular of this beautiful building . Inside you can find a bar . From the University of Utrecht website translated with Google Traslate because the website page doesn't work with the English version of the University website : The oldest foundations of the current Pandhof date from the end of the 14th century. The Pandhof formed the connection between the Dom Church and the Groot Kapittelhuis, part of the current Academy Building. In addition, the Pandhof was a cemetery and a place for religious contemplation. Because it remained unclear to whom the Pandhof belonged for quite some time, local residents were able to do their thing for a long time. Nut trees were planted and the courtyard was used for storing old wagons, raising chickens and drinking beer. In 1634 the 'Illustrious School' was founded, a school that resulted from the ideas of the new Protestant church. Because students had to walk via the Pandhof to the lecture halls in the Groot Kapittelhuis, the Pandhof became the 'walking place of d'Academie'. The walnut trees were cut down and all local residents lost the right of way. The Pandhof became the property of the current University of Utrecht. However, it was unclear who was responsible for the maintenance of the Pandhof. Destruction set in. It was not until 1962 that a garden was laid out for the first time in the Pandhof, designed by municipal architect Otto. Otto devised the pavement with boulders and the division into 23 sections. Unfortunately, there was no clarity about the responsibility for maintenance, as a result of which the garden – once again – deteriorated. In 1975 law student Joke Frankenhuyzen asked the university board for permission to turn the garden into a medieval herb garden. Together with Sies Jonkman, she was able to transform and maintain the garden. Under Jonkman's leadership, the garden grew into an ornamental herb garden.
Educational, Informative and extremely rich with history - As the folks of Utrecht say "Utreg" | #030😜✊🏾 #Utrecht
This is peaceful place to enjoy the peace and enjoy the flowers but now it became more party palace.
Beautiful garden designed by Piet Oudolf. Maintained by volunteers.
Gorgeous neighborhood garden. Made and run by local volunteers. One of the most beautiful gardens to see in Utrecht. Worth a visit!
Wonderful mixture of architecture and a quiet garden. Didnt understand the cafeteria design, but it was ok. If you are in Utrecht you definitely have to visit this place.
Beautiful grasses with perennials and shrubs. Amazing autumn color!
