The Muiderslot is not just any workplace. It is one of the oldest castles in the Netherlands, a national museum, a national crowd puller full of history, culture and atmosphere. More than 165,000 visitors a year come here for a unique day out, and the hospitality industry plays an important role in that. From a good cup of coffee to a sunny terrace moment overlooking the moat and gardens. We provide a welcoming experience.
