Kasteel Geulzicht was built in the early 20th century by a wealthy Dutch industrialist from Nijmegen named Pieter Carel Zuyderhoudt. Like other members of the nouveau riche class, Zuyderhoudt was eager to flaunt his fortune and set about building a lavish home. His vision led to the creation of an unusual and anachronistic building that blends neo-Gothic architecture with design features completely inspired by medieval fortifications. During World War II, the German military garrisoned the castle and transformed its halls into a veritable fortress. After the Netherlands was liberated by the Allies, Geulzicht Castle was renovated and eventually converted into a hotel.

Kasteel Geulzicht History

Kasteel Geulzicht fu costruito all'inizio del 20° secolo da un ricco industriale olandese di Nijmegen chiamato Pieter Carel Zuyderhoudt. Come altri membri della classe nouveau riche, Zuyderhoudt era desideroso di ostentare la sua fortuna e si mise a costruire una casa sontuosa. La sua visione portò alla creazione di un edificio insolito e anacronistico che fonde l'architettura neogotica con caratteristiche di design completamente ispirate alle fortificazioni medievali.

Durante la seconda guerra mondiale, i militari tedeschi presidiarono il castello e trasformarono le sue sale in una vera e propria fortezza. Dopo la liberazione dei Paesi Bassi da parte degli alleati, il castello di Geulzicht fu rinnovato e infine convertito in un hotel.
