What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the stunning architecture of Jachthuis Sint Hubertus and its beautiful setting within the Hoge Veluwe National Park. The guided tours are informative, offering great historical context about the Kröller-Müller family and architect Berlage. However, some find the limited access to only a few rooms disappointing given the ticket price.
"Must buy tickets in Advance!
The building is stunning, the setting is amazing, the story is compelling.
But...you only get to see 5 rooms, all on the main floor. It's a comprehensive ~1 hour tour (in Dutch) for what you see, but it's disappointing that more of the building isn't accessible, especially given it's only shown by guided tour anyway.
For non-dutch speakers, we were given an audio tour device (included with your price).
Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable.
Be aware you will not access the tower, bedrooms, anything upstairs, basement, kitchens, etc.
You can explore the grounds before or after (free all year) and there is a small cafe on-site.
Parking is a 5 minute walk down the road.
The tour would be accessible, I'm not sure if they allow wheelchairs."

"Enjoyed the guided tour of the house. Very interesting history and great to hear not only about the house, but also some background on the Kroller-Muller couple and the interactions with Berlage, who not only designed the house but also most of the interior, furniture etc. My first time enjoying 'gesamtkunst'."
Henrique Barnard
"Stunning art deco building, gorgeous interior, the house tour was very informative and engaging, it took around 45 minutes. We only visited the lower floor rooms. A must do!"
