preserve its eventful history
Our friendship is close
It takes a great deal to preserve this beautiful castle in all its historic glory, and thanks to the financial support of our friends and patrons, we have already been able to accomplish a great deal in the past.
In this way, we help preserve a piece of our cultural heritage. The Friends and the Castle work closely together, and together we organize fun extras for the Friends.
the value of friendship
What can a friend expect for a fee starting at €50.00 per person per year:
- The donation is tax-deductible (Gift Tax Act of 2012)
- Free admission for one person*
- Invitation to at least one afternoon gathering with friends, featuring a talk and refreshments
- Digital newsletter via email
- 10% discount on purchases at the castle shop.
- Pre-registration for events (Gold Card)
* during regular business hours
The annual allocation to the castle amounts to at least 80% of the previous year’s donations. This way, you’ll know what portion of your contribution goes toward a project and what portion covers organizational expenses, such as the Friends’ Afternoon.
You can become a Friend with a donation of just €50.00 per person per year. Of course, a larger donation is more than welcome. A donation of €1,250.00 makes you a “Friend for Life.”
