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.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
