'Slot' is translated as castle, but sometimes it is a country estate built for comfort and exhibiting one's wealth, without giving a thought to even a modicum of defensive features. Slot Zeist is one of those estates, built in the 1670s and 1680s by an illigitimate son of stadholder Prince Maurice of Orange.
Thank you all very much. It is one of the favourite places of my teenage years (seems so long ago now); near my secondary school, so lounged in the grounds many a day during my misspent youth ;)
