We are proud to offer our students such a superb training location.  It is called "Slot Zeist".


Slot Zeist

Slot Zeist was built in the seventeenth century (1686) by Willem Adriaan, The Duke of Nassau-Odijk, at a time when power, wealth and fame were very important. You will experience the grandeur of this aristocratic landmark building as you enter the stately alley.
 
  The entry ensures a Royal welcome for guests, while the classical interior of the rooms is in the rich baroque style. Slot Zeist can best be described as a Royal Palace with all the stately rooms in original state.  Crystal chandeliers, ornate fireplaces, baroque statues and beautifully painted ceilings are part of its historical interior. The mezzanine floor displays the full grandeur of Slot Zeist. Click here for an aerial view of the property.

City of Zeist

Slot Zeist is located in the heart of the historical city of Zeist, in the green centre of The Netherlands. On both sides of its stately drive are the eighteenth century Brother and Sister Square of the Moravian Brethren Church.  In walking distance the main shopping district of the city of Zeist can be found.  The well-known "Hotel Theatre Figi" is also in walking distance of Slot Zeist.  Hotel Theatre Figi is responsible for the top luxury catering at Slot Zeist.  Students enjoy the fact that the school is located in the city center.  Owner of Slot Zeist is the municipality of Zeist and we thank the city of Zeist for its trust and confidence in our school.
