Hillenraad Castle, Medieval water castle in Swalmen, Netherlands
The castle features a square main building with four corner towers, surrounded by a moat fed by the Eppenbeek and Rietlossing streams.
In 1572, William of Orange established his headquarters at Hillenraad Castle to direct the siege operations against the city of Roermond.
The banquet hall contains preserved Liège Baroque furniture and detailed decorations that represent the architectural preferences of Dutch nobility.
The castle complex includes twenty separate structures registered as national monuments, including the main building, outer buildings, and park elements.
German Crown Prince Wilhelm and his retinue found temporary shelter at Hillenraad Castle in November 1918 before relocating to Wieringen island.
