Hidden in the Betuwe, a region in Gelderland, lies Soelen Castle, a pearl of historic architecture in the Soelen Estate. The castle and the estate together form an idyllic scene that radiates timeless beauty.

Soelen Castle has its roots in the Middle Ages, with the earliest mention sometime in the 13th century. Although the castle has been rebuilt and renovated several times over the centuries, it has always retained its grandeur and significance for the region. With its canals, towers and bridges, the castle is an example of traditional Dutch castle architecture. It has known many owners, including noble families and influential landlords, each with their own contribution to the castle's story.

The Soelen estate, which surrounds the castle, is a vast area spread over hundreds of hectares. It is a mix of forests, islands and water features, which gives it a diversity of flora and fauna. For centuries, the castle's owners have maintained and designed the estate, both for practical purposes such as livestock farming, and for aesthetic and functional purposes.

The estate's gardens are laid out in different styles. In certain periods, the formal French style, with linear lines and symmetry, was preferred, while in other times the English landscape style prevailed, with its natural and picturesque features.

The Soelen Estate, just like the castle, has had different owners and managers over the centuries. Under their care, the estate has been developed into a haven for nature and history lovers.

Together, Soelen Castle and Soelen Estate are not only an important part of the cultural and historical heritage of the Betuwe, but also a living testament to the Dutch tradition of landscape conservation and design.
