Doornenburg Castle, Medieval castle in Lingewaard, Netherlands
Doornenburg Castle is a stone fortification with two main sections: a fortified central building and an outer bailey connected by a stone bridge across the moat. The structure shows the typical medieval defensive design built for the region.
The castle was built in the 15th century and served as a defensive stronghold against threats for centuries. After suffering heavy damage during World War II bombing, it was completely rebuilt and later converted into a museum.
The castle displays collections that document how Dutch noble families lived through different periods. Visitors can see the objects and furnishings that shaped daily life in a wealthy household.
The castle welcomes visitors on weekends with access to exhibition rooms and the outdoor grounds. Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain is uneven in places and there are stairs to climb throughout the property.
The castle regularly hosts medieval events where historical crafts, combat techniques, and period cooking are demonstrated to visitors. These gatherings provide a hands-on sense of how people worked and fought centuries ago.
