Tour of Lochem and Huis Verwolde

Your route starts at Cafetaria & Lunchroom Uit de Kunst. The fairytale vistas in the coulisse landscape near Lochem can only be described as idyllic. Wooded banks, hedges, farms, fields and streams give the rolling surroundings something exciting and the estates and castles in the area are silent witnesses of the cultural history of Gelderland. The stately building Huis Verwolde was first mentioned in 1346. It was conquered in 1505 by Duke Charles of Gelre, who had it thoroughly fortified. In 1510 the castle was destroyed by an enemy. Later the current castle was rebuilt in a simple form. The castle is open to the public and serves as a museum. Be sure to get off here and take a look!
