Kasteel Moersbergen, Medieval castle in Doorn, Netherlands
Kasteel Moersbergen is a castle composed of two square sections arranged around a rectangular inner courtyard and linked by crenellated defensive walls. A pigeon tower from the 16th century stands at one corner of the complex.
The castle was founded in 1435 when the Utrecht Chapter granted Steven van Sleen permission to build on the site. It received Ridderhofstad status in 1539, recognizing its importance as a noble residence.
The castle serves both residential and commercial purposes today, with offices and meeting spaces integrated into its historic structure. This blend of medieval layout and contemporary use shapes how visitors experience the site.
The castle is located near Doorn and visible from various points around the grounds, though access may be restricted due to its current residential and office use. It is best to check visiting conditions beforehand, as the site is privately occupied.
The estate was donated to Het Utrechts Landschap foundation in 1962 by its owner J.A.W. Luden, ensuring long-term preservation. This donation made it possible to maintain the castle while allowing it to serve both residential and business purposes.
