A few steps over the drawbridge of castle Doorwerth and you're in the Middle Ages! How did people live on the estate back then? Take a look at the sturdy castle, the medieval kitchen and the prison with the creepy nail ceiling.
On a strategic spot in the floodplains of the Rhine you will find the impressive castle Doorwerth. A castle with an eventful history of several centuries. After several ravages and restorations it shines again as it did in 1650. How'd it go back then? You can see that in the furnished rooms, such as the Knights' Hall and the dining room. In the medieval kitchen you can smell the smells of yesteryear. And who dares look in jail or look for the giant bear? Scavenger hunt
