Huis Neerijnen

It is a beautiful, wooded area located along the banks of the Waal. Containing two special buildings, Waardenburg Castle and Huis Neerijnen. Both with a moat and Huis Neerijnen even with a drawbridge and a coach house. And of course with beautiful stories.

The castle, originally called 'Klingelenburg', was a residential tower with defensive functions. Around 1350, knight Gijsbert de Cock had this first noble house built in Neerijnen. Almost certainly on the elevated and moated site. Together with the Waardenburg castle, built in 1265 on behalf of Rudolph de Cock, it forms one estate. The residents of Neerijnen Castle used the name De Cock van Neerijnen. After the De Cock family, several families owned the estate, including Van Aylva. In 1769, Hobbe van Aylva had a front door frame installed in rococo style with a memorial stone attached to himself.
