Palace 't Loo

Royal history in the Veluwe

Just a stone’s throw from Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn – de Cantharel lies one of the most remarkable attractions in the Netherlands: Paleis Het Loo. This former royal palace tells over 300 years of Dutch history and is an absolute must-see during your stay in the Veluwe.

Step into the world of the House of Orange and experience how our royal family lived for centuries. Stroll through the richly decorated rooms, admire the stately chambers, and travel back in time to the grandeur of the 17th century.

The baroque palace gardens are a highlight in themselves. Perfectly symmetrical parterres, vibrant flowerbeds, and impressive fountains make this one of the most beautiful historic gardens in Europe.

Throughout the year, you can enjoy changing exhibitions, guided tours, and events. From art and culture to history and nature, Paleis Het Loo reveals a different side with every visit. Complete your day with a bite or drink in one of the charming estate restaurants.

Thanks to its unique location in the heart of the Veluwe, Paleis Het Loo is the perfect day out in every season. Combine your visit with a stay at Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn – de Cantharel and experience the very best of nature, history, and hospitality.
