The tour guide was incredible—spunky, engaging with the kids, thorough, and clearly passionate! The castle itself has been very well restored, and is loaded with nearly 800 years of simple Dutch history.
Stay at the BnB in the castle bailey area, and eat in the cafe! It’s a double-down on the experience!

This castle isn't overwhelmingly large, but with the aid of the knowledgable staff, you get a glimpse into its past as the stronghold at this strategic point where 3 rivers meet in the countryside. The bridge leads you high over the functioning moat into a hall that features a painting of Doornenburg in a dilapidated state, 10 years after the last mistress of the castle died. It's history is an interesting one, including a less than fortunate incident in WW2.
The is armor on display, the bedroom and great hall have arrangements, and nice views are available from every floor. It's worth a visit!

If you are a "Castle" junkie this one has some incredible history starting c1300. At a closed event we were treated like family. The docents in period costume are well trained and friendly. This is one of the best preserved castles in the NL.

A castle as you would imagine it! Where a knight used to live, who fought for the Duke of Gelre. A fortress with a moat and a draw bridge. Floris (a TV series about a knight with Rutger Hauer) was set in this castle. Cool! They have a great collection of armor and weaponry, documents and there's personell in authentic clothing standing by to answer questions. Great castle experience! We walked to Arnhem from there but I would recommend taking the bike there from Arnhem. It's really nice. 🗡🏹🛡🗝🏰⚔

The Doornenburg Castle was almost completely destroyed during the Second War World. However, some of the places of the old castle are there and now a museum is opening with many medieval objects and a long history to discover. Enjoy a beer just in front of the Castle!!

Excellently preserved castle, where you can actually spend a night as some of the buildings have opened as B&B.

Unexpected medieval castle in the middle of nowhere. Destroyes in 1945 but carefully rebuilt in 1965,i think it keeps perfectly all the "original" atmosphere. The court can be visited for free,the main building i dont know. The surroundings as well are worth a nice walk or bike ride. Bello
