Keppel Castle, Medieval castle in Laag-Keppel, Netherlands
Keppel Castle is a three-story brick structure with a square layout and natural stone trim, surrounded by a moat and connected by a causeway. The building combines architectural features from multiple centuries and sits within a larger estate that includes gardens and outbuildings.
The structure was destroyed in 1582 and rebuilt in 1609, then served as a residence for the family ever since. Multiple renovations across the following centuries shaped its current appearance, reflecting changing tastes and needs.
The rooms inside display furniture and decorations from different time periods that reflect how the noble family lived. These personal objects and handcrafted details show how daily life evolved within the castle over the centuries.
A visit lets you walk through the interior rooms and explore the surrounding grounds at your own pace. Wear comfortable shoes since the property has both paved paths and grassy areas to discover.
The same family has owned and lived in the castle since its founding in the 14th century, making it one of the longest continuously inhabited noble residences in the region. This family legacy has been formally managed through a foundation since 1962 to ensure its preservation.
