Historical interpretation:
Charles the Fifth, Erasmus, Philip the Second, and so on. They all visited Wouw Castle around the sixteenth century. These were the heyday for the castle. Until recently there was nothing left to see of the castle. The centuries-old walls of this castle were hidden in the ground for years, but with the restoration of the walls and the restoration of the moat, the castle is coming back to life.
Four-meter-high earthen walls now mark the contours of the former castle complex. A modern access bridge takes you to the central area where the old castle and outbuildings used to be. The old castle has now been partly restored and reintegrated. The contours of the former outbuildings have been made visible with elevations. The highest elevations are the youngest buildings. The lowest parts are the oldest and belong to the old castle that was built between 1250 and 1300.
The 'new' well is special. The upper part that is visible was built on a 4½ meter deep well of the castle. It is completely covered with natural stone on the inside and still functions well. Note the coat of arms of the Van Glymes family in the well and the names of the lords of Bergen op Zoom in the edges. The natural stone top edge is almost completely original, because these stones were thrown into the well.
Would you like a tour of the grounds? Then walk with the guide on Saturday morning at 10:30 am. You can register via redactie@kasteelvanwouw.nl.
