Nettelhorst, Historic castle ruins in Lochem, Netherlands

The Nettelhorst estate spans 110 hectares, featuring remaining sections of a stair tower, west wing, tree-lined avenues, and a double moat system.

The first documented mention of Nettelhorst dates to 1379 when Steven van Nettelhorst received ownership, though evidence suggests an earlier structure existed before 1227.

The preserved architectural elements include an 18th-century wooden construction with single beam layers, red brick walls, and profiled window frames.

The site received protection status as a Rijksmonument complex, with a bridge installed in 2005 replacing the previous dam for improved access.

A canal from the Berkel river connected to the castle moat in the 17th century, incorporating a circular pond specifically designed for keeping carp.
