The story

You're standing at Drakenburg, just outside Baarn. Looking for a castle? Then you're a few centuries too late. What you see is a restored site with part of the old castle moat. That moat is a listed national monument. Inside it stand newer buildings, and built into them is a fragment of the old coach house.
