Hernen Castle, Medieval castle in Wijchen, Netherlands
The castle features four wings surrounding a central square courtyard, with its eastern wing containing the main entrance gate built in 1555.
The initial structure from 1350 consisted of a keep and curtain wall, with the great tower collapsing during the eighteenth century.
The castle gained television recognition when it served as a filming location for the 1968 series Floris, featuring actor Rutger Hauer.
Visitors can explore the castle from April to October on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays between 1 PM and 5 PM.
The castle maintains the single covered defensive wall-walk among all castles in the Netherlands, preserving its original medieval military design.
