Kasteel 't Joppe

Kasteel 't Joppe is a castle and garden in the Achterhoek region, displaying traditional Dutch architecture with brick walls, sloped roofs, and ornamental window frames. The grounds feature maintained gardens with various plant species and walking paths that define the estate.

The castle originated in the 14th century and was transformed into a residential estate between 1750 and 1850. These renovations blended its medieval foundation with neoclassical additions that shape its current appearance.

The name comes from a local term describing the type of terrain where it stands. Visitors can observe how the gardens extend the living space and shape how people experience the surrounding landscape.

The site is readily accessible in the Achterhoek region and managed by the Lochem municipality. Visitors should check ahead since access and guided tours may operate on limited schedules.

The gardens include educational plant collections that reflect historical gardening practices in the region. These specimens reveal how horticulture was central to estate life in earlier times.
