Kasteel Wijenburg, Medieval castle in Echteld, Netherlands

The castle features a moat on three sides, an integrated hall tower design, and a landscaped park containing historical outbuildings and a bridge.

First mentioned in 1178, Kasteel Wijenburg belonged to the Van Wijhe family from 1272 until 1751, when it passed to the Van Wassenaer family through marriage.

The castle includes the Ridderzaal, a grand hall accommodating over 150 guests, with centuries-old frescoes and sparkling chandeliers decorating its interior.

The castle offers free on-site parking and can be reached easily from Gelderland, Utrecht, and other regions of the Netherlands via major roadways.

The castle grounds contain stone lions that originally belonged to Kasteel Wiel, connected to a legend about the knight Adam van Delen.
