Castle Vorden
Vorden, Netherlands, Netherlands
Castle Vorden, located in Vorden, Netherlands, was first mentioned in 1315 as a medieval military structure featuring a square tower that formed its core.
Looted by English soldiers in 1580 during the Eighty Years' War, who also kidnapped the family of occupant Maurits Ripperda, it suffered further damage from a fire and was restored by the late 16th century with added moats.
Briefly serving as Vorden's town hall after 1976 restoration until municipal mergers ended that use, the privately owned moated castle with L-shaped wings now offers guided tours of its historical interiors, including a 17th-century fireplace and late-Gothic staircase, alongside a nearby restaurant.
