On the edge of the village amidst the greenery, the majestic Amerongen Castle still exudes the atmosphere of yesteryear. Amerongen Castle is the most beautiful Dutch castle from the Golden Age thanks to the original condition of the Huys, the gardens and the collection. This cultural-historical monument has a rich family history of 700 years. Its inhabitants played an important role in national and European history. Godard Adriaan van Reede (1621-1691) was a key figure in the revolt against French rule. In retaliation, Amerongen Castle was set on fire by the French in 1673 and later rebuilt by his wife Margaretha. The German Emperor Wilhelm II (1859-1941) lived at Amerongen Castle for a year and a half and signed the act of abdication here in 1918. Top pieces are family and officer portraits, a B? Tz cabinet organ, a Louis XIV four-poster bed, gobelins and two marquetry sets by cabinetmaker Jan van Mekeren. The castle is surrounded by historic gardens and is located at the foot of the picturesque village of Amerongen. Visit the castle and walk through the beautiful castle garden where you can have a fantastic picnic in the summer.

There was already a castle on the Broekhuizen estate in the Middle Ages. This castle was transformed into a private house in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. First the old castle was replaced by a white country house and later that country house was expanded. This created a three-storey building with a striking center section. The manor then burned down completely in 1906, but has since been restored to its former glory. Until 1965 the house was in the hands of different owners. After that, Broekhuizen came into the hands of the government, which established the National Institute for Nature Management there. They then sold the country house to Staatsbosbeheer and the house is now in the hands of a new owner. The mansion has been completely renovated inside in the meantime.

The history of the Netherlands during the First World War comes to life in Huis Doorn. In the museum you will learn about the life and possessions of the German ex-Kaiser Wilhelm II, who lived here from 1920 to 1941. After the loss of the First World War, he was granted political asylum in the neutral Netherlands in 1919. The interior of Huis Doorn comes from the imperial palaces in Berlin and Potsdam. Beautiful furniture, paintings, carpets and silver made it possible for the royal asylum seeker to continue to live according to his status. They formed a decor of European allure. A court protocol in pocket format took place daily in the small village of Doorn. The original furnishings are largely intact and offer an authentic image of international royal living. Huis Doorn is also the official place of remembrance of the First World War in the Netherlands. The exhibition 'Between two fires' is on view in the former garage of Wilhelm II.

The Fort aan de Buursteeg is one of the largest and most important defenses of the Grebbelinie. The fort was built in 1786 on the spot where the Buursteeg and the Slaperdijk intersected. Due to the size of the fort, several hundred soldiers were able to camp within the ramparts. The fort provided space for soldiers in the war of 1794 and 1795 against the French. Furthermore, the fort was on the front line during the May days of 1940 and was a German base when the Allies approached from Ede. So this fort has a long history. A visitor center will open in the northern part of the fort in 2017. Construction is now in full swing. The fort is easily accessible due to its central location close to the road and a train station and the fort is also a junction in numerous cycling and walking routes.
