In 1358, knight Dirc Loef van Horne had his castle built in the traditional Dutch river landscape, where Maas and Waal meet. At the time ideal for collecting tolls, nowadays ideal for a day out with family or colleagues. You can also use our castle as a party location, conference location or for an overnight stay. On 26 July 2021, Loevestein was placed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO as part of the Dutch Waterline.
Of course, the castle is best known for Hugo de Groot's escape in a book chest.
