The story

Head to Muiderslot for its annual Plum Weekend, inspired by P.C. Hooft's famous invitations to friends to enjoy the orchard harvest. Taste freshly picked plums, browse a small farmers' market with local producers, and explore the castle and gardens. It is how to celebrate the end of summer properly. Buy entrance in advance on the Muiderslot website.
