Characteristic Castle on the Biljoen estate. Nice for a short walk or to combine with a longer walk towards Beekhuizen estate, for example.

The castle is privately owned, so it can only be viewed from the gate.

Biljoen Castle is located between the Veluwe and the IJssel near Velp in the municipality of Rheden, in the Dutch province of Gelderland. This cultural-historical Noble House from the 16th century was built by Charles of Gelre, Duke of Gelre and Count of Zutphen around 1530, partly with building materials from the nearby Overhagen Castle on the Broekerhof estate (or Broeckerhoeve), which was acquired by Emperor Henry IV in 1076. the chapter of St. Peter in Utrecht was donated.

The landscape between Velp and Rheden is largely determined by the Biljoen Castle Domain with its water features, forests and farmlands. The construction extends along the Beekhuizerbeek in a NE direction far into the moraine area with its height differences. Both the Beekhuizerbeek and the Rozendaalse beek provide sufficient clear water, which can be used to fill fountains, cascades, ponds and moats.
