Huis Doorn

Just noticed a remark on der Rittmeister's site that Huis Doorn has been closed to the public by the Netherlands government.
Whenever this was done I had no idea it had happened and am shocked that they could do this. Is this due to covid, or another example of 'cancel culture" ?

Steve,
According to their website, they are still open, and you can visit it still.

Ontdek de geschiedenis

Ontdek de geschiedenis van de Eerste Wereldoorlog en het verhaal van de laatste Duitse keizer

If you need some translating Dutch, let me know.
But the dates and tours are visible I presume.

Regards, Coert.

Hmm - it appears to still be open, according to their own website: Huis Doorn

Tickets are available (they even show how many are left for each day).

Exactly,

The only thing I can imagine, is that there only was a debate that our governement wanted to stop subsidizing them, but after a lot of debate, this was not put through. I think Der Rittmeister made a mistake there.

Regards, Coert.

Glad to hear that Rittmeister was wrong, I was hoping to go there again in the autumn (covid and wife permitting ). I remember the funding debate from a while back. Thanks for correcting me.
(And him!). Steve
