How many rooms are in the Huis Doorn Manor House and in the Gate House? Did the Kaiser's staff live there also. My grandfather Otto Schwarz, German musician performed there weekly in 1923 with a small ensemble. What room would music have been performed in? I am presently writing my grandfather's biography, and would appreciate a photo of the manor house, and possibly the music room to use in the book. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Daniel Schwarz, Albany, New York, USA

The most known building in the town is "Huis Doorn"
This is where Kaiser Wilhelm II spend a great deal of his life after Germany was defeated by the Allies in WW I. The people of Germany put the blame on him for loosing the war and on the 9th of november 1918 the people declared Germany to be a republic.
The emperor was exciled. The Netherlands was neutral in WW I, so he fled to the Netherlands.
It is a remarkable castle. It is rather small, but is completely filled with objects brought here by the last emperor of Germany
