Tips

After the end of the First World War, from 11 November 1918, Bentinck gave shelter to the German Emperor Wilhelm II at Amerongen Castle at the request of the then Queen's Commissioner, Jonkheer Schelto van Citters. He stayed at Amerongen Castle for a year and a half and signed his deed of abdication here. In May 1920 he moved to nearby Huis Doorn. During his stay at Amerongen Castle, adjutant Sigurd von Ilsemann, who traveled to the Netherlands with the ex-emperor, got to know the Count's daughter and married her in 1920. After Wilhelm II's death in 1941, he and his wife moved into the castle.

If you have time, visit the small tobacco museum in the middle of the monumental village of Amerongen

contemplative district with history. Here our last emperor (Wilhelm II) was granted asylum by the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina. Until his death he lived in a house in Doorn, which he was not allowed to leave.
The castle was recently renovated and can now be visited (for 12 €), or you can enjoy the restoration in the castle park.
