Hackfort, Vorden, Medieval château in Vorden, Netherlands.

The château presents a rectangular design with two round corner towers, topped by helmet-shaped roofs and intricate openwork lanterns at Hackfort estate.

Dating from 1324, Spanish troops damaged the castle during the Eighty Years' War in 1586, leading to reconstruction efforts by Borchard van Westerholt in 1598.

The interior features a grand staircase with wooden lions holding coats of arms, demonstrating Dutch nobility architectural preferences of the period.

The castle grounds include a coach house transformed into a brasserie, while the maintained vegetable garden supplies fresh produce to the restaurant De Keuken van Hackfort.

Four round flues compose an early 17th-century chimney system that enables simultaneous use of all connected fireplaces throughout the structure.
