RE: Castle Heeswijk

Hope your mother-in-law will be well.

Great castle, so many beautiful artifacts of the past. The Chinese dining room is my favorite.

his will read that nobody could live in the castle until his youngest cousin turned 80 years old. At that time his cousin was only 12 years old

😁

But how this castle has become a place available to the public? Is it still owned by some barons or some institution, or the state?

Sort:  

Thank you, we hope so too, but we're still worried as it's tough for her mentally right now.

They turned it to museum because they couldn't live there 🙂 It's still owned by the family, or rather their castle foundation.

I think they wouldn't even want to live there now as it costs a fortune to maintain a property like this, so it's probably better to get the ticket fees and probably some profit from the restaurant (or maybe they even own the restaurant)..

Very tough mentally - we had this in the family.

I got it. I know costs of maintenance can be a problem for heirs (know it from cool series 😁 called White Lotus ❤️).
