Landgoed Scherpenzeel

The Scherpenzeel House was initially a fortified house in a fairly inaccessible and peat-rich environment in the fourteenth century. In the fifteenth century, the bishops of Utrecht and the dukes of Gelre fought over the border areas between the two provinces and the castle changed hands several times. That is why the area around Scherpenzeel remained inhospitable and unexplored for a long time. The park around the castle is open to the public.
