Kasteel van Loon op Zand

The castle stands on foundations from 1383, featuring white walls, a moat, several towers, and fortified structures that reflect medieval defensive architecture.

In 1587, State troops under Philips van Hohenlohe-Neuenstein captured the castle using five pieces of artillery to breach its walls.

During the 17th century, the castle's chapel served as a refuge for Catholic masses when Protestant authorities controlled local churches.

The castle functions as a wedding venue, concert hall, and exhibition space, managed by the White Castle Foundation with volunteer support.

The structure underwent a complete transformation in 1777 when Louis Charles Otto van Salm-Salm converted the medieval tower into a country house.
