The town of `Seist` was first mentioned in a charter in the year 838. The original settlement was located at the present Dorpsstraat. In the late 12th century, a church was built here. Its tower is now a part of the Reformed Church, the remainder of which was built in the 19th century. Until medieval times, a branch of the river Rhine flowed close to the centre of the town. Three mansions were built near the village: the Huis te Zeist, Kersbergen, and Blikkenburg. From 1677 to 1686, the `Slot Zeist` was built on or near the ruins of `Kasteel Zeist`, the original castle (donjon) of Rodgar van Zeist. In the last quarter of the 17th century, Count Willem Adriaan van Nassau, an illegitimate descendant of Prince Maurice of Orange, acquired the property and built Slot Zeist in the Dutch Classicist style. In the 19th century, Zeist became a favorite residence for the rich, mainly from the city of Utrecht. Zeist is the location of the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB). Tim visited the KNVB Campus in the winter of 2025.
