Tour of Lochem and Huis Verwolde

Your route starts at Cafetaria & Lunchroom Uit de Kunst. The fairytale views in the scenic landscape near Lochem can only be called idyllic. Wooded banks, hedges, farms, fields and streams add some excitement to the rolling surroundings and the estates and castles in the area are silent witnesses to Gelderland's cultural history. The stately building Huis Verwolde was first mentioned in 1346. It was conquered in 1505 by Duke Karel van 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 stop here and take a look!
