Ooit het lustoord van Willem Adriaan, graaf van Nassau-Odijk en kleinzoon van prins Maurits. Nu het ideale decor voor vorstelijke evenementen, historie opsnuiven of genieten van kunst en cultuur. Het Slot ademt historie, is omringd door prachtige Engelse tuinen en is zeer centraal gelegen. De Orangerie van Slot Zeist is de ideale plek om na een wandeling of fietstocht door de Utrechtse Heuvelrug te pauzeren. Kom voor een lekker kopje koffie met huisgemaakt gebak, geniet van een uitgebreide lunch met een kopje soep en broodje of salade of sluit de middag af met een borrel en hapjes. U bent van harte welkom!

Best on Sunday
No English guides and castle only open Sunday for tours. It was still nice to walk around the grounds and look at modern sculptures. There is a brasserie and dining option.

One of few palaces available for the public, tours only in the weekend!
I booked a tour, which is only done during the weekend!.. The current building dates from the 17th century and is not as big and impressive as palace 't Loo in Apeldoorn (though it was designed by the same architect). It has some nice rooms all in barok style. In the garden of the castle they hold theater plays and there are also expositions in a small part of the building (but if you go to these you only see a very, very small part of the building and not the nice rooms so beware of that!). The tour lasts for 45 minutes and is not expensive EUR 5,50 for grown ups. I looked at the site and they say that it is not certain that they give tours each weekend, because the caste can be rented for weddings and parties, so check first!. It was an entertaining tour, but I have seen more impressive castles/palaces. Still it is a good alternative if you stay in the Utrecht region and it is a nice and green area, nice for a walk afterwards!.
