Utrecht Parks and Gardens

Utrecht’s green spaces range from the sprawling 19th-century English-style Wilhelminapark to the medieval cloister gardens of the city center. This collection includes the monumental Zocherpark, designed in 1830 on former city ramparts, and the extensive grounds of Castle De Haar, the largest castle in the Netherlands. Visitors can explore the academic heritage of the Utrecht University Botanic Gardens at Fort Hoofddijk or find seclusion in historic monastic courtyards like Pandhof Domkerk and Pandhof Sinte Marie.
