Cannenburch Castle: cultural heritage near Apeldoorn

Just a 15-minute drive from Van der Valk Hotel Apeldoorn - De Cantharel is the impressive Cannenburch Castle in Vaassen. This 16th-century castle is one of the most beautiful and best preserved castles in Gelderland. An ideal destination for a day out during your stay in the Veluwe.

What to see and do at Cannenburch Castle

Castle Cannenburch was built on the ruins of a medieval castle by the Gelderland Field Marshal Marten van Rossem. The castle stands at the edge of a watery park where the differences in height between the water features still keep the last remaining mill turning. Stroll down the romantic driveway, admire the moat and discover the castle interior with antique furniture, art and historical utensils. The surrounding park and estate also offer plenty of hiking opportunities.

Castle and park can be visited through a (children's) audio tour in which the original inhabitants take you back to the life of a noble family in the 18th century. Wander through richly decorated rooms, discover ancient treasures and be surprised by paintings that come to life.

For families, there are interactive exhibitions, child-friendly scavenger hunts and regularly organized events. So the castle is also great for a family outing in the Apeldoorn region.

Reserve tickets online and start the walking tour at the Bouwhuis country store. In the castle's Gewelvenkelders you will find the castle store and at Maarten in 't Koetshuis you can enjoy lunch, drinks and dinner.
