The story
12th-century castle, seven halls, and nothing but orchard views
Kasteel Wijenburg has watched over the Gelderland orchards since the 12th century. Today the castle's seven halls — from the beam-ceilinged Ridderzaal to the vaulted Bruegel Cellar and the Torenkamer up in the tower — give a wedding the run of a genuine medieval castle without compromising on warmth or service. When the orchards are in blossom in spring, or the driveway is lit by fire baskets in winter, the setting is simply without parallel in the region.
On wedding days the castle is yours entirely: no other celebrations, no strangers crossing the courtyard. A team of around sixty professionals handles everything from the custom dinner — always planned together with the kitchen brigade — to the candlelit entrance that greets guests on arrival. Hotel Bal next door ensures that the most important people don't have to drive anywhere afterwards, and the 13th-century church directly opposite the gates is available for those who want a blessing to match the surroundings.
