Timeline
Oct 2022
Unaccompanied minors housed at Kasteelhof
COA opens reception for roughly 50-60 unaccompanied minor asylum seekers aged 13-18 in the former Pluryn buildings at Kasteelhof 2 and 4, with round-the-clock youth supervision.
Cost
Dutch asylum reception is funded by central government through the COA. At an illustrative benchmark of about €184 per person per night for emergency reception (noodopvang), the 166 people recorded here on 13 August 2025 imply roughly €11m per year. This is an order-of-magnitude figure for context only, not a site-specific invoice — emergency reception typically runs around three times the cost of a regular centre.
