At the end of the wide shady driveway you come to this highlight and look at the beautiful Slot Moermond.

The current Slot Moermond is the third castle to be built on this site. The castle here is an amalgamation of different architectural styles from different time periods.

The first castle was built in 1229 by Costijn van Zierikzee. only a few walls have been preserved. The second castle was built in 1339 by one Aernoud van Haamstede (1320 - 1348). The gatehouse is the only one of these that has survived the building boom.

The current Slot Moermond was built in 1513 by Jacob van Serooskerke (1460 - 1531). The old gatehouse was then converted into a residential tower.

Slot Moermond is only accessible to guests. The general public can only dream of a prince or princess of I don't know much on the bridge.

Nevertheless, this Slot remains a nice location to take a selfie.

Capture a beautiful memory here.

Slot Moermond, a medieval castle in Renesse on the Dutch island of Schouwen-Duiveland, was first built around 1229 by Costijn van Zierikzee. Over the course of its long history, the castle has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. The current building dates largely from 1513, when Jacob van Tuyll rebuilt it with the help of his wife Adriana van Wissekerke, incorporating parts of the old gatehouse, which dates back to the 14th century.

The castle is surrounded by a wide driveway and a moat, which underlines its historic charm. It is located in the middle of the 45-hectare Moermond estate, which also serves as a nature reserve. Over the centuries, Slot Moermond has undergone several reconstructions, including extensions in the 17th century, when it received a stair tower, among other things. During World War II it served as a residence, but was badly damaged by the devastating flood of 1953. After extensive restorations in the 1950s, the castle regained its splendor and is now used for private events and as a wedding venue.

The castle and the surrounding estate are not only an architectural gem, but also offer an idyllic setting for nature and history lovers. Although the castle is not open for regular tours, visitors can explore the grounds and take a look inside on special occasions. It is a living example of the region's eventful history and the importance of historical buildings in the province of Zeeland.
