Amerongen Castle
Description
The Amerongen
Castle was built in 1286. Originally it comprised of a wooden donjon, but later it was
made of stone.
It houses an exceptionally
rich collection of furniture, paintings, wall tapestries, books, porcelain and glasswork from
the 17th through to the 20th century. In the kitchen, hall, library, grand hall, dining room
and bedroom the layout has remained intact since the departure of the last
inhabitants.
The 12-meter high gallery
with many family portraits is spectacular. The dining hall and gallery have been redecorated by
the famous architect P.J.H.
Cuypers.

The park and gardens are open

borders, the rosarium, a children's house and beautiful trees, including a 300 year old
oak.
