Doorwerth Castle is an impressive medieval castle built in its present form in the mid-16th century where you can still experience what it was like to live on an estate. On the side moraine behind the castle, there is a varied hilly landscape where you can enjoy beautiful walks and bike rides.
Kasteel Doorwerth History
The castle's rich history, spanning more than seven centuries, boasts glorious periods as well as darker ones. Today, Doorwerth Castle shines in all its 17th century glory, including the gatehouse, carriage house and stables. The kitchen garden is so well managed that you'd expect it to still supply the lord's kitchens with vegetables and flowers.
Inside, you can marvel at the richly decorated period rooms and imagine yourself living in the castle. In the armor room, children can try on a chainmail suit. Guided tours in English are available upon request.
In the south wing is a comprehensive overview of the history of the castle, forestry and hunting in the Netherlands. Enjoy a cup of coffee, lunch or a drink in the castle café. You can find souvenirs and local products in the castle gift store.
