Kasteel Staverden, The Netherlands
Around 1300 count Reinoud I. van Gelre build the castle and some houses. It was his idea to make a village/town out of Staverden, but that never happened. Various dukes of Gelre used the house as a hunting lodge.
The present house was build in 1904-1905 by Frederik Bernard. He was a mayor of Rotterdam. His family sold the house in 1962 to the foundation Het Geldersch Landschap. This foundation makes restorations to the buildings and area around it.
The site is also a perfect location for a wedding. It also host a brasserie (restaurant).
You can walk around on the estate. There are 3 routes you can do. The yellow, blue and red route. The yellow and blue routes are both 3 kilometer long, but goes different directions. The red route is 3.5 kilometer long. On 11 October 2021 I did the yellow route. Despite I had some rain during the route, it was really nice to walk around.
