Amerongen Castle and its collection

Amerongen Castle
Source

The building and interior of Castle Amerongen have a remarkable character that has developed over the centuries. Originally, the castle is a thirteenth-century residential tower built in the Rhine floodplains. In the sixteenth century, Goert van Reede settled on the castle. This family stayed for over three centuries. In February 1673 the French occupiers burned the castle down and destroyed the outbuildings. The 'Huys' was then rebuilt in a sober Dutch classicist style. The Huys with its original inventory is nowadays on display and definitely worth a visit.
