Moermond Castle, sometimes called “Kasteel Moermond”, is located in Renesse on the island of Schouwen-Duiveland in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It was built in the 13th century and has had a varied history with numerous destructions and reconstructions. The oldest preserved part dates from 1513 and the castle has been renovated several times, especially after damage caused by natural disasters and wars.
Today, Moermond Castle is privately owned and serves as a venue for weddings, meetings and private parties. It is surrounded by a 45-hectare nature reserve characterized by forests and moats. The park and castle are only accessible during special events or guided tours. The surrounding nature park is particularly worth seeing and is ideal for walks and excursions.
During the flood disaster of 1953, the castle suffered considerable damage, but was restored in the 1950s. Since 1981 it has been under the management of Natuurmonumenten, a nature conservation organisation in the Netherlands that maintains and protects the surrounding area.
