Castle Doorwerth

Not far from Arnhem lies the charming castle of Doorwerth situated on the river Rhine. The first castle, probably a wooden structure, was first mentioned in records around the second half of the 13th century. Later it was rebuilt from stone. The castle of Doorwerth has a unique and truly delightful appearance. Its picturesque surroundings add to the character, and despite being surrounded by a moat, it feels inviting. The grounds of the castle feature one of the oldest trees in Holland. The acacia tree was planted there around the year 1600. Nowadays the castle is open for visitors, it has three museums, and the impressive great hall is available for events and receptions.

When ever I am in the area I drop in. Gorgeous location, a great winter market held here and the cafe offers prompt friendly service. Their cakes are to die for. Delicious!

Cool castle with some cool ornaments and lots of information about the castle itself hunting in the past and the agroculture in the past.

One of the oldest castles in Holland that dates back to the 12th century. Nice to visit and walk the grounds and see the museums!

Great castle museum, cafe, splendid old, vast beech forest for walks.
