Amerongen Castle

Amerongen Castle is a castle in the floodplains of the Nederrijn near the Utrecht village of Amerongen.

 

In the 13th century Amerongen was only a residential tower. In the course of time this tower was expanded with various parts. In troubled times, the house was regularly damaged. It was finally destroyed by the French in 1673. After that, the current country house was constructed in a sober Dutch classicist style on behalf of G.A. van Reede. He used the remains of the old castle. The site was also created in its current form.
