Tour of Keukenhof

History of the Gardens

The setting of the Keukenhof Gardens was used during the 15th century as the game reserve and herb garden for the kitchen of Jacqueline, Countess of Hainaut. It is from here the name of the garden comes: translated as "the kitchen garden".

Over the centuries the garden has passed through numerous private hands until it was acquired by the foundation which transformed it into what we know it as today: an annual event which attracts millions of visitors from all over the world.

Today Keukenhof is 32 kilometres in size with 15 kilometres of winding paths and tens of floral expositions, gardens and artworks. This has become an unmissable sight for anyone who visits Holland in the spring.
