De Cloese, Medieval castle in Lochem, Netherlands
The castle features a neo-Renaissance architectural design with classical elements, symmetrical facades, and detailed stone decorations throughout its exterior structure.
Built around 1520 by pastor Sweder van Kervenheim, the castle underwent major renovations in 1886 that transformed it into its current neo-Renaissance form.
The castle represents the evolution of Dutch noble residences, changing from a defensive structure to a refined manor house over several centuries.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through guided tours, which provide detailed information about the architectural features and historical development of the structure.
The building served as a Policing Training School for Northeast Netherlands from 1959, marking an unexpected shift from its original residential purpose.
