Kasteel Dorth, Medieval castle ruins in Lochem, Netherlands.

The estate includes a historic manor house situated along the Dortherbeek stream, surrounded by protected parkland and woodland areas.

First mentioned in 1311, the castle belonged to Eliger van Heeckeren from the knightly family and became a strategic stronghold during regional conflicts.

The estate represents Dutch aristocratic heritage through its architectural elements and land management practices that span several centuries.

Visitors can explore the three-kilometer marked walking trail through the estate grounds, which remains accessible throughout the year.

The current structure replaced the original 14th-century fortress, which served as an open house for the Duke of Gelre during the attempted conquest of Deventer.
