Birth of a luxury garden

Keukenhof was originally a herb garden located in the hunting grounds of Countess Jacoba of Bavaria. In 1840, a pair of garden architects, father and son Zocher, gave the park its luxurious English-style aspect, which was can admire to this day.

The gates of the park were first opened to the public in 1950 and the exhibit became an instant success. During the first year, 236,000 people visited the park. Since then, the opening of Keukenhof Park has become a globally renowned, famed and highly-sought event in Europe.

This year’s theme: Dutch design

This year’s theme is Dutch design, which is characterised by Dutch starkness combined with innovative solutions. Famous artists and designers like Mondrian and Rietveld laid the foundations of Dutch design. Even today, Dutch designers are praised around the world for their creations in the segments of luxury fashion, design, architecture and furniture. This is why they served as the inspiration for this year’s season at Keukenhof Park.

The unique flower mosaics or the flower show at the Oranje Nassau pavilion, which will change every week, are created entirely in the style of Dutch design. One of the greatest attractions for international visitors will be Mondrian’s garden with its square colour compositions.
