The name "Keukenhof" literally translates to "kitchen garden" in Dutch. This designation dates back to the 15th century when the land belonged to Teylingen Castle and was primarily used as a garden to grow herbs and vegetables for the castle's kitchen. Over centuries, it transformed from a practical kitchen garden into the magnificent spring flower park it is today.
