7478 RV Hof van Twente
One of the most famous castles in the Netherlands is Kasteel Warmelo, located in historic Diepenheim, near Enschede in the province of Overijssel. It is best known for its beautiful gardens in different styles, in which you can see four centuries of Dutch castle garden architecture.
Huis Verwolde
This was once a medieval castle with thick walls, three ramparts and three moats. You would think that it was easy to defend, but it was completely destroyed during a fierce battle between Gelre and the Oversticht (Overijssel). The current house, which was built in the 18th century, was sold in 1977 to the Geldersch Landschap & Kasteelen Foundation. Since then, the rooms have been refurbished according to their original functions.
