Sandenburg Castle, Medieval château in Langbroek, Netherlands
Sandenburg Castle is a château along the Langbroekerwetering waterway, combining Gothic architectural elements with a central tower and surrounding structures. Today the former stables and carriage house serve as business spaces, while the orangery functions as an events venue.
The castle first appears in written records in 1391, when it was pawned to Jan van Zijl by its original owners. This early documented history marks the beginning of its role as a significant local estate.
The castle bears the name of a family whose presence shaped the region for centuries, and their influence remains visible in local place names today. This connection between the building and regional identity is part of what visitors notice when exploring the area.
Visitors can explore the grounds from outside and observe the architecture and setting along the Langbroekerwetering waterway. It is helpful to check beforehand if events or special openings are scheduled, as access may be limited at times.
A road nearby bears the name of a former owner: the Graaf van Lynden van Sandenburgweg connects Wijk bij Duurstede with Werkhoven. This unusual legacy shows how deeply the family shaped the landscape.
