Vorden originated on a stream near a ford; an 'advantage'. In the Middle Ages, several prominent families settled in and around the village. Thanks to these noble families, Vorden now has a tremendous wealth of estates in its area. Estates full of colorful rhododendrons, romantic vistas and beautiful gardens. Vorden is rightly proud of its title 'Achtkastelendorp'. Only the two robust towers are a reminder of the castle that was built in the 14th century, but unfortunately destroyed by Spanish troops in the 16th century. Now Hackfort is a stately country house that is lined in spring with white wood anemones, snowdrops, anemones, crocuses and wild hyacinths. A little further on you will pass the robber baron castle Den Wildenborch. Get off at Hotel & Brasserie Bosrijk Ruighenrode!

Kasteel Vorden


7251 ME Bronckhorst
http://www.kasteelvorden.nl/news/40/15/Openingstijden-Kasteel-en-restaurant.html

Vorden castle is located in a fairytale park forest with streams. Behind the coach house is a beautiful vegetable garden called the Hof van Hackfort. In 1400 there was already a house here, complete with outer bailey and moat. The current castle was built later. The building to the right of the castle used to house the gardener's house, the orangery and the coach house. The castle is privately inhabited and is therefore not accessible. The castle is open to the public, so come by. From April 1, 2018 (at Easter), the castle is open every weekend for a viewing.

Nowadays you can find a studio and theater space on the ground floor of the mill. Guided tours of the mill are regularly given by the miller.
