Captain Rommel's Garden – A hidden green gem in Castricum

Just a few steps from Castricum train station lies a special place, hidden in the green: Captain Rommel's Garden .


This oasis of tranquility is a place where people meet, children explore, and the seasons change. Whether you come for a walk, gardening, an activity, or simply a cup of herbal tea, you are welcome.


The garden is for everyone—young and old. There are regular educational and creative activities, but it's also a wonderful place to relax on a regular weekday.


You walk past flowering plants, hear the trickling of the waterfall (designed by Captain Rommel himself) and find places to sit and relax for a while.
