Walk to Bloemendalpark. The castle is not accessible, but the exterior is a pretty sight. Find a spot in the park facing WSW to watch the sky change color.

Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts around 16:03, giving you plenty of time to settle in before the final moments of daylight.

End your evening at the restaurant inside Kasteel Bloemendal. This beautiful small castle houses an upscale venue with plenty of luxurious dishes. The menu offers start from around EUR 30, and there is a pretty good wine list.
Local tip
The castle premises are private, so enjoy Kasteel Lemiers from the outside. For dinner, Kasteel Bloemendal offers a refined setting just a short walk from the viewing spot.
