Hardenbroek Castle was first time mentioned in 1331. The castle is a square form house built to the site of original keep maybe around 1260 by Gijsbert van Wulven. The present day appearance dates from the restorations made in 1694, 1762 and 1789. Today Hardenbroek is privately owned.

This is the castle from which my family takes it name: Van Hardenbroek (just Hardenbrook in America). My family visited it in 1986 when you had to wander the roads of Holland to find such things. No google maps back then!

Hardenbroek Castle is not a visitable castle. It is a beautiful large house with a spacious estate. We too, the walking club often walk across the large forest area With a bit of luck you will encounter deer that have a lot of space. The passage over the paths Very good in dry weather. There is a good path between Langbroekkerwetering and Cothen. Both entrances passed quickly, so search for it. Have fun walking.

Beautiful castle with many opportunities for walking on paths and along meadows

The estate is largely freely accessible. The castle is private property and direct access around the castle is prohibited. Unlike other nature reserves and huts in the area, you can take a quiet walk here without meeting anyone.

Wieskirche

The Pilgrimage Church of Wies (Wieskirche) is an oval rococo church, designed in the late 1740s by Dominikus Zimmermann. It is located in the foothills of the Alps in the municipality of Steingaden.

The sanctuary of Wies is a pilgrimage church extraordinarily well-preserved in the beautiful setting of an Alpine valley, and is a perfect masterpiece of Rococo art and creative genius, as well as an exceptional testimony to a civilization that has disappeared.

The hamlet of Wies, in 1738, is said to have been the setting of a miracle in which tears were seen on a simple wooden figure of Christ mounted on a column that was no longer venerated by the Premonstratensian monks of the Abbey. A wooden chapel constructed in the fields housed the miraculous statue for some time. However, pilgrims from Germany, Austria, Bohemia, and even Italy became so numerous that the Abbot of the Premonstratensians of Steingaden decided to construct a splendid sanctuary.
