Wedderborg, Medieval borg and restaurant in Wedde, Netherlands

The Wedderborg stands near the Westerwoldse Aa river, featuring architectural elements from three centuries within its stone walls and surrounding moat.

Constructed around 1370 by Egge Addinga for the Bishop of Münster, the borg served as the administrative center for the Westerwolde region until 1818.

Between 1587 and 1597, the borg functioned as a courthouse where 22 people faced trial and execution during the regional witch persecutions.

The structure now operates as both a hotel and restaurant, allowing guests to dine within centuries-old walls while exploring Dutch medieval architecture.

The property underwent significant changes in 1994 with the addition of a new moat, enhancing its historical appearance and water features.
