Geldrop Castle, Medieval castle in Geldrop, Netherlands

The castle stands near the center of Geldrop, along the valley of the Kleine Dommel river, featuring a surrounding park with gardens and walking paths.

Philip van Geldrop and his son Jan constructed the original fortress around 1350, maintaining it as a loan from Guelders until the Teutonic Order acquired it in 1462.

The castle functions as a designated Rijksmonument, preserving architectural elements from different periods and serving as a testament to Dutch noble residences.

The castle operates as an event venue with ten different rooms for celebrations, conferences, and ceremonies, accommodating groups of up to 450 people.

During the Eighty Years' War, the castle provided refuge to Bishop Michael Ophovius, who received visits from the painter Peter Paul Rubens.
