Teylingen Castle dates back to the 13th century.<\/p>\n<p>In 1641, the estate was purchased by Adriaen Maertensz Block, then governor of the Dutch East India Company. Block had a manor house built on the land. At the time, <strong>he named the manor Keukenhof.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The evolution of the domain over time <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The estate changed hands several times over the following years. In 1857, they hired David Zocher and his son to restructure and redesign the gardens in the English style.<\/p>\n<p>These designs remain the basis of the park today, which opened in 1949 when a group of Dutch bulb growers and flower exporters got together to showcase their products. <strong>The park did not open to the general public until 1950.<\/strong>At the same time, it welcomed a total of 200,000 visitors.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-834\" src=\"https:\/\/bonjouramsterdam.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/jardins-tulipes-amsterdam-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"tulip gardens amsterdam\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjouramsterdam.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/jardins-tulipes-amsterdam-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bonjouramsterdam.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/jardins-tulipes-amsterdam-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonjouramsterdam.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/jardins-tulipes-amsterdam-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bonjouramsterdam.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/jardins-tulipes-amsterdam-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bonjouramsterdam.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/jardins-tulipes-amsterdam.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc144646070\"><\/a><strong>Admire the tulip gardens near Amsterdam<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Today, Keukenhof covers an area of 32 hectares and is home to around 7 million flowers, from daffodils to roses and the emblematic tulips.<\/p>\n<p>A visit to the gardens offers a magical chance to discover a sea of beautifully cultivated flowers.<\/p>\n<p>Every autumn, a team of 40 gardeners works to plant the<strong> 7 million bulbs donated to the park by over 100 growers<\/strong>.
