Editing Doorn (section)

== Notable inhabitants == 
The last German Emperor, [[Wilhelm II of Germany]], lived at Huis Doorn in the center of the village after his deposition in 1918. Although he initially regarded his exile as humiliating, he gradually found solace in Doorn’s tranquility and personally oversaw the gardens, remaining active in following political developments until his death in 1941.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.huisdoorn.nl/en/wilhelm-ii |title=Wilhelm II – Huis Doorn |publisher=Huis Doorn |access-date=28 February 2025}}</ref>

Dutch novelist [[Simon Vestdijk]] resided in Doorn for much of his life (1939–1971, with brief intervals elsewhere). His works reflect the peaceful yet introspective atmosphere of the village.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dbnl.org/auteurs/auteur.php?id=vest001 |title=Simon Vestdijk |publisher=Digital Library for Dutch Literature |access-date=28 February 2025}}</ref>
