Den Burch, Castle and municipal monument in Rijswijk, Netherlands.

Den Burch features a U-shaped building structure surrounded by an English landscape garden designed before 1800 by architect Zocher Sr.

The estate changed ownership in 1788 to Rotterdam wine merchant Petrus Mattheus van der Kun who transformed it into a capital mansion.

The castle functions as a youth center managed by Salesian priests since 1951, following its confiscation during World War II.

The monument sits at coordinates 52.05236, 4.32339 near The Hague, making it accessible for visitors exploring Dutch historical landmarks.

Maps from 1580 by Jan Potter reveal a three-story brick keep encircled by a moat, with remnants of the original motte visible today.
