Zuylen Castle
Slot Zuylen

Discover a small castle, alongside the river the Vecht.

Right outside of Utrecht, in Oud-Zuilen, Castle Zuylen is situated. The castle owes its name to Steven van Zuylen, who started building a tower around the year 1250. In the 14th and 15th century, the tower got different owners and in the beginning of the 15th century, it was destroyed.

For about a hundred years, the tower was nothing but a ruin, but in 1525 this was changed by Count Willem van Rennenberg, who built a moated castle in Gothic style. In the late 19th century the castle got renovated again, and got the look it has today.
