Kasteel Eerde, Ommen, Castle and national monument in Ommen, Netherlands.

The castle features a hard stone frame adorned with a coat of arms and clock, situated within a French classicist park with decorated forest areas.

The original wooden fortress from the 14th century belonged to knight Evert van Essen until forces from Utrecht, Zwolle, and Deventer destroyed it in 1380.

Between 1925 and 1929, the castle became an international spiritual center where philosopher Krishnamurti taught theosophy to students from different countries.

Visitors can take guided tours through the restored bel étage or follow a 3-kilometer walking route around the castle grounds through park forest paths.

In 1933, the castle transformed into a Quaker school that provided refuge for children of German Jews and later evolved into an international education center.
