In the small town of Batenburg, a fantastic, old castle ruin of Batenburg rises up. The surrounding moat makes the ruin appear even more magnificent. A real highlight!

Batenburg Castle was once one of the most important and oldest castles in Gelderland. According to tradition, a former stone above the entrance gate should indicate that Batenburg Castle was built in 527 on the remains of a Roman temple. Near the castle was a well with medical, antipyretic water sold by the gatekeepers.
