Kasteel d'Oultremont, Medieval castle in Nieuwkuijk, Netherlands.
Description
Kasteel d'Oultremont is a stone castle located near the boundary between Nieuwkuijk and Drunen in North Brabant, notable for its distinctive southern wing. The building has been modified over centuries and today displays a blend of older stone structures and later additions.
History
The castle originated in the 13th century as a fortress called Steenenburgh. A major renovation took place in the mid-17th century, after which the structure gained a new appearance.
Culture
The castle served as part of the Het Land van Ooit theme park, where it displayed a distinctive pink exterior from 1989 to 2007. This period shaped how local people and visitors experienced the site as a family destination.
Practical
The castle is a protected national monument where visitors can examine medieval defensive architecture from the exterior. Access to the grounds is generally open, but it is wise to check in advance whether any special conditions apply.
Did you know?
During the French invasion in the 18th century, the castle was converted into a hospital, and a fire subsequently destroyed significant portions of the structure. This event left marks in the architecture that remain visible today.
