Wassenaar, near The Hague, happens to be the town I grew up in (see Personal Information), albeit not in Duivenvoorde castle. The castle at nearby Voorschoten is still there, now a museum. Members of the Wassenaar (or Wassenaer) family became heer van Polanen (who are possibly also in our tree) and burggraaf (Viscount) of Leiden.
