Beverweerd Castle, Medieval château in Werkhoven, Netherlands
The castle stands on an island along the Kromme Rijn river, featuring a rectangular residential tower with southern and western corner fortifications.
First documented in 1274 during an attack on Utrecht, the castle belonged to knight Zweder van Zuylen and later passed to the Prince of Orange in 1563.
From 1958 to 1997, the castle served as the International Quaker School Beverweerd, contributing to educational development in the Netherlands.
The surrounding gardens offer walking paths where visitors can observe the castle exterior and the Kromme Rijn river landscape.
Dutch painter and former art forger Geert Jan Jansen currently resides in the castle, which underwent major Gothic Revival renovations between 1835 and 1862.
