Admission ticket to Sinterklaas's Gift Palace

Step into a world full of Sinterklaas magic! Discover the beautiful Gift Palace at Doorwerth Castle and embark on an adventure throughout the entire castle. Because where the helpers are at work, the party truly gets started!

On Friday 20 November 2026, the castle will be filled with cheerful fun from Sinterklaas's helpers. Follow the Helpers' Trail and discover the corridors and rooms of the castle, where every helper has been put to work. Listen to the cheerful tunes of the Music Helper, who creates a festive atmosphere everywhere, and enjoy the grand Sinterklaas show, full of laughter, singing and dancing.

There is something to discover everywhere in the Gift Palace: from bustling workshops to secret spots where the helpers can hide for a moment. The grand halls are filled with cheerful helpers, music and, of course, piles of presents. Throughout the palace, everyone is working, laughing and practising for the big day in December. You will see places where pepernoten are made, where the helpers dance and where Sinterklaas will soon sleep!  The castle transforms into a magical world full of fun and surprises for all ages.
