Schloss Borculo, Medieval castle in Berkelland, Netherlands
Located at the junction of the Berkel river and Grolse Slinge stream, Schloss Borculo features thick defensive walls and traditional Dutch architectural elements.
First mentioned in documents from 1320, the castle served as a strategic stronghold during the Eighty Years' War and underwent multiple reconstructions through centuries.
The castle grounds host regular exhibitions and guided tours, allowing visitors to explore the remaining structures and learn about Dutch noble families.
Parts of the original keep now lie beneath the current library and cultural center, with sections previously open to visitors now closed due to structural concerns.
The King of Netherlands maintains the title Lord of Borculo, connecting the modern Dutch monarchy directly to this medieval fortification.
