Rhoon Castle

Rhoon, Netherlands

Rhoon Castle as we know today was built in 1430 by Pieter the Seventh of Duiveland. He was a descendant of Biggo van Duiveland, who built the original castle which dated back to 1199. The coats of arms of the many illustrious families who lived in the castle can be seen in the stained-glass windows in the Catharina Theresia Room. Thoroughly restored in 1975, the castle is now regarded as one of the most beautiful restaurants in the Netherlands.

Excellent friendly service and lovely food.

Grew up next to the castle. Sure had a lot of fun and got into a lot of trouble when I was young but no hard feelings. Loved the nature and forest surrounding the place. On top of that it’s an excellent restaurant and location for a special occasion, celebration or wedding.
