The neighborhood Elinkwijk, located in Zuilen, contains the protected city view Beschermd Stadsgezicht Zuilen-Elinkwijk. Buildings within this area are not automatically protected monuments, but the city government will monitor and adjust zoning and planning in the area to protect the look of the area.

History

Zuilen used to be a municipality in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It existed until 1954, when it split in two parts. The southern part merged with Utrecht to form the district that is now known as Zuilen. Oud-Zuilen merged with Maarssen, which merged with other municipalities to form Stichtse Vecht on Januari 1st 2011.

In 1510 the Zuylen Castle was established, where Isabelle de Charrière (1740–1805) was born and lived in summer and in winter in the city of Utrecht, till she married in 1771.

Zuylen castle has been open to the public since 1952.
