Kasteel Huize Harmelen

Harmelen, Netherlands, Netherlands

Kasteel Huize Harmelen is a charming 13th-century moated castle in Harmelen, Utrecht province, Netherlands, originally built as a fortified residence around 1270-1280 by Everard van Stoutenburg on the old Rhine riverbank.

Recognized as a ridderhofstad in 1536, it endured destruction during conflicts like the 1672 French invasion in the Rampjaar but was repeatedly rebuilt, incorporating medieval vaults, neo-Gothic elements, and crenellations in 19th-century modernizations, with the current structure dating to a 1949 historizing rebuild.

Nearby stands an authentic 18th-century dovecote tower, once part of its lordly privileges housing up to 350 birds, now restored after serving as a pigsty; today, the private castle functions as an event venue while preserving its storied past.
