Long Description:
Heeze Castle ("Kasteel Heeze") is situated in the Netherlands, south of Eindhoven. It used to be the centre of the seigneury of Heeze, Leende and Zesgehuchten, part of the Duchy of Brabant. In the Middle Ages, it was owned by the de Horne family. In the Seventeenth Century Pieter Post designed a new castle, of which the first part was built. In 1760 the Castle was bought by Jan Maximiliaan van Tuyll van Serooskerken. The van Tuyll van Serooskerken family has lived in the castle ever since.
