Hiking

Upon entering the grounds, you immediately notice the magnificent historic Arcen Castle on your left. It was built in the mid-17th century by order of the Dukes of Guelders on the remains of an earlier castle. The current castle dates from the Baroque period, a stylistic period characterized by lush forms, expressiveness, and the pursuit of splendor and grandeur. In the 19th century, a devastating fire destroyed the castle's symmetry, destroying its entire left wing. Although part of the wing was rebuilt in 1888, the original U-shape was never fully reconstructed.
