Features and Amenities

[ Top ] | [ Bottom ]

Heemskerk is perfect for groups. Schools, orchestras, sports teams, businesses: everyone is welcome. Individual guests, too! The castle is famous for hosting weddings, reunions and other special events. Together with an outdoor sports company we organise group packages. Foofie sliding down a high-wire suspended from the tower, archery in the garden and other pastimes of yore: we’ll try anything. Such a special day calls for a medieval dinner, barbecue or grand buffet.
