    The castle Boetzelaer in Kalkar-Appeldorn is one of the oldest strategic water castles on the Lower Rhine. For over five centuries, the former stately knight's fortress from the Middle Ages was the ancestral home of one of the most important aristocratic families on the Lower Rhine. Today, this historic monument has reopened after a long period of renovation. The foundations of the castle date back to the 13th century and the newly built frontage impresses with modern glass design of the 21st century. [Source: burgboetzelaer.de]

      One of the oldest (about 760 years old) and formerly most important castles in the German-Dutch border area, was inhabited over 500 years by the family of Boetzelaer.
      Off the beaten track between A3 and A57 with a small adjacent park on the Boetzelaerer Meer with the overnight stay in 7 stately guest rooms.

        The castle was only rebuilt in 1999-2003. The highlight is the huge vaulted cellar
