Het Loo Royal Estate, which consists of the Palace Park and
Royal Forest, lies west of Apeldoorn in the Netherlands. It is a
landscape of extensive forest and heaths. For over 300 years the
area has been closely linked with the Dutch Royal Family, the House
of Orange-Nassau. It is this association with the Oranges that has
shaped the estate as we know it today: an estate of over 10,000
hectares with a rich cultural heritage, great biological diversity
and much beautiful landscape.
