Castle Bronkhorst, Medieval castle site in Bronkhorst, Netherlands.

The castle stood on an elevated position next to the town, featuring a keep, defensive walls, and a moat system for protection.

Built in the 10th century as a wooden fortress on an artificial hill, the castle served as the residence of the noble Bronckhorst family until 1828.

The Bronckhorst lords held the status of bannerets in the County of Guelders, maintaining direct allegiance to the emperor rather than local authorities.

While the castle no longer exists, visitors can locate the original well at the top of the hill where the structure once stood.

The castle grounds transformed into a country house in 1828, which remained until 1904, leaving only the historical well as evidence of past structures.
