Kasteel Ophemert, Medieval castle in Ophemert, Netherlands.

The brick castle features rectangular architecture with corner towers, forming a symmetrical structure within the Riverland landscape near Betuwe.

First documented in 1403, Duke Reinoud IV of Gelre granted the castle to Knight Sweeder van Weerdenborch, marking its role in Dutch nobility.

The castle maintains its heritage as a Rijksmonument, preserving centuries of architectural elements and serving as a municipal wedding venue.

The castle opens every Monday evening for visits and accommodates up to 24 overnight guests in its renovated chambers.

The Scottish Mackay family has owned the estate since 1844, when Baron Barthold Mackay inherited it from his aunt, Baroness Anna Margriet van Haeften.
