Weekends: St. Nicholas is here!
On weekends, Sinterklaas himself is at Muiderslot Castle. He invites all the children to visit his castle and greets everyone personally.
There’s plenty to do: practice your “Piet” skills, visit St. Nicholas’s gift room and bedroom, come dance at the Piet Disco, meet the circus Pieten, and bake pepernoten. And of course, you can also come pet St. Nicholas’s horse!
On Weekdays: Discover St. Nicholas’ Castle
On weekdays, St. Nicholas is busy preparing for St. Nicholas Eve. He isn’t at Muiderslot Castle on those days, but his castle is still open to the public.
Take a look behind the scenes and discover where Sinterklaas sleeps and what his gift room looks like. You can also get creative yourself in the Castle Workshop.
For school groups
From November 16 through December 4, Sinterklaas Castle is open on weekdays for school groups.
Students bake pepernoten, practice being real “Pieten,” and discover how Sinterklaas lives in Muiderslot Castle.
