    Originally, Rhijnestein is a former knight's court town in Cothen. A great diversity of flora and fauna can be found on the estate, making this area of great ecological value.

      Rhijnestein is a former knight's court town in Cothen in the municipality of Wijk bij Duurstede and is called both a 'house' and a castle. Originally there was a residential tower on the right bank of the Kromme Rijn on a rectangular moated site.

        The tower has a height of 14.6 m. The origin of the residential tower is not entirely clear. In 1303, knight Daem van Bloemenweerde was mentioned as owner, it is unclear whether this refers to the disappeared Bloemenwoerde or Bloemenweerde.
        Daem's son, Gijsbert, sold Rhijnestein in 1361. Here it becomes clear that there is a house and where it is located.
