Kasteel Rechteren, Medieval castle in Dalfsen, Netherlands

Located on an island in the Vecht river, Kasteel Rechteren stands with thick walls, containing over forty rooms across multiple stories.

The castle originated in 1320 when Herman van Voorst initiated construction, replacing an earlier fortified farmhouse mentioned in documents from 1190.

The dining hall contains Greek mythology paintings by Herman ten Oever, representing the artistic heritage of the Overijssel region.

While the castle remains private and closed to visitors, the surrounding 1,200-hectare estate offers walking and cycling paths through forests and fields.

The castle has remained in continuous possession of the same family line since 1339, spanning over six centuries of hereditary ownership.
