Assumburg, Medieval château in Heemskerk, Netherlands
Description
Assumburg is a château in Heemskerk with a square stone structure featuring four corner towers and a surrounding moat. The grounds include fruit orchards, rose gardens, and reconstructed horticultural sections.
History
The castle began as a 13th century residence and was substantially rebuilt in 1694 under Jean Deutz's ownership. This renovation shaped the classical style visible today.
Culture
The gardens here show traditional Dutch horticultural practices with formal layouts and separate sections for growing vegetables and herbs.
Practical
The property has served as a youth hostel since 1933 and offers accommodation within its historic walls. Visitors can explore the reconstructed gardens and outdoor areas at their own pace.
Did you know?
During a cholera outbreak in 1881, the castle temporarily became a hospital to care for sick residents from the surrounding area. This shows how the building served the wider community beyond its role as a residence.
