Castle Nijenrode, Medieval château in Breukelen, Netherlands.

Castle Nijenrode stands at the bank of the Vecht River, featuring Dutch Renaissance architecture with two drawbridges crossing the surrounding water.

The castle dates back to 1275 when Gerard Splinter van Ruwiel commissioned its construction, followed by multiple destructions and renovations throughout centuries.

The castle now serves as the main building of Nyenrode Business University, merging historical architecture with modern educational purposes.

Access to the castle interior requires participation in scheduled guided tours, while the surrounding park allows visitors during specific opening hours.

The castle survived the French occupation in 1672 and subsequent fire in 1673, leading to its restoration by Amsterdam trader Joan Ortt.
