In 1360 the first mention is made of a Drakesteyn homestead. The ancient history of Drakensteyn is closely linked to that of Ridderhofstede Drakenburg, which was located nearby and was demolished in the 19th century.
In the Golden Age, a large number of castles and country houses were rebuilt and built in the Laagte van Pijnenburg, such as Soestdijk - later Soestdijk Palace -, De Hooge Vuursche Castle, De Eult, Pijnenburg, Eeuwijckshoeve.
In 1780, a renovation took place that changed the appearance of the house: the Ionic columns were removed. In 1807 Drakensteyn became the property of Paulus Wilhelmus Bosch, mayor of Utrecht. The house remained in the family for 150 years, until it was sold to Princess Beatrix by Frederik Lodewijk Bosch van Drakestein in 1959. She had the castle restored and moved in in 1963. After becoming queen, she moved to The Hague in 1981. Since then, Drakensteyn has been used as a country house and guest house.
The estate and the house are not open to the public.
