Doorwerth Castle, Medieval castle and museum on the Rhine River in Renkum, Netherlands.
The castle comprises multiple buildings including a gatehouse, coach house, and stables, displaying architectural elements from the 13th through 17th centuries.
First documented in 1260, the original wooden structure was burned and later reconstructed in stone around 1280 under the command of local nobility.
The castle museum exhibits furnished period rooms, military artifacts, and extensive displays about Dutch forest management and hunting traditions.
Visitors can access guided tours in English, enjoy refreshments at the castle café, and purchase local products from the gift shop.
Children have the opportunity to experience medieval life by trying on authentic chainmail suits in the dedicated armor room.
