Kasteel Well, Medieval castle in Well, Netherlands
Kasteel Well is a brick castle complex in Well surrounded by two moats and comprising multiple structures. The property contains a main building, an outer castle section, and expansive gardens planted with flower beds.
Construction began in the 14th century around a watchtower dating from 975, with extensive renovations happening in the 17th century. These later works reshaped the complex into its current form.
The castle serves as a home to an international student community that shapes daily life in the village through their presence and interactions. This blend of centuries-old architecture with young people from around the world creates a living connection between past and present.
The site is not open to the public since it functions as a residential and academic space for students. The best approach is to view the exterior and gardens from the surrounding pathways.
The buildings currently house around 90 students per semester who not only study but also live together as a small international community. This transforms it into a living place where history is experienced daily.
