Biljoen Castle, Medieval castle in Velp, Netherlands.
Biljoen Castle stands near the Veluwe region with four corner towers, surrounded by water in a traditional Dutch defensive architecture style.
The structure originated as Broekerhof farm in 1076 before Charles, Duke of Guelders, transformed it into a fortified castle during the 16th century.
The castle represents Dutch noble heritage through its preserved architectural elements and demonstrates the evolution of defensive structures into residential estates.
Access to Biljoen Castle requires advance planning as visits are limited to specific dates, with entrance tickets distributed at the coach house.
During the 1672 French invasion, King Louis XIV established his headquarters at Biljoen Castle, which protected it from destruction unlike neighboring estates.
