Heukelum Castle, originally called Merckenburg, is located just outside the historic fortified town of Heukelum on the border of Gelderland and South Holland. It was built shortly before 1286 by the van Arkel family. The castle, with its towers, courtyard, double moat and outer bailey, forms a particularly complete set of house, contents, archives and park. It is inhabited and not suitable for large groups of visitors. In the basement there is a small museum with rare coins, medieval finds and an extensive archive, which can be viewed by email on request.

Heukelum Castle, originally known as Merckenburg, is located along the River Linge just outside the historic fortified town of Heukelum, on the border of Gelderland and South Holland. The first mentions of this centuries-old castle date back to the Middle Ages. It was the van Arkel family who had the current castle built shortly before 1286. The result was an imposing structure with towers, a courtyard, double moats and an outer bailey.
