Doorwerth Castle

Doorwerth Castle, a striking medieval fortress surrounded by a moat, sits along the Lower Rhine just west of Arnhem. Originally built in the 13th century, the castle has been lovingly restored and now houses a museum showcasing period furnishings, hunting trophies, and art. Visitors can explore the grand halls, the kitchen, the chapel, and the tower rooms, each decorated in styles from the 17th to 19th centuries. The castle's setting is idyllic: manicured gardens, a tranquil moat, and views of the river. A highlight is the 'Castle Park' with ancient trees and a herb garden. The on-site restaurant offers refreshments with a view. Doorwerth also hosts events like medieval fairs and outdoor concerts. It's a must-visit for history buffs and anyone seeking a romantic step back in time.
