With our expertise, our own garden in the park, and a shop where you can order bulbs for your home garden, we bring the atmosphere and quality of Keukenhof closer to everyone.
The rich History of Keukenhof
The grounds of Keukenhof have a fascinating history that stretches back centuries. In the 15th century, the area was part of the estates surrounding Teylingen Castle, where herbs and vegetables were grown for the castle’s kitchen, the origin of Keukenhof’s name.
In 1949, bulb growers and exporters decided to organize a spring exhibition to showcase Dutch flower cultivation to the world. Keukenhof officially opened its doors in 1950, drawing over 200,000 visitors in its first year. Since then, it has grown into one of the Netherlands’ most renowned tourist attractions, welcoming over a million visitors annually.
