Lievendaal Castle stood in the floodplains near Amerongen. The castle was first mentioned in 1419 as a farmstead, but the estate is older because in the fourteenth century there was already talk of a loan. The castle was already a ruin in the seventeenth century. The castle ruin was probably demolished around 1690.

Lievendaal is a former castle and recognized knight's estate near Amerongen, municipality of Utrechtse Heuvelrug, in the Dutch province of Utrecht. In 1419, Jan van Driebergen, bastard son of Willem van Abcoude, was granted a farmstead and ten morgen of land near Amerongen by his cousin Jacob van Gaasbeek. The fief book from 1498 speaks of a 'stone house with farmstead with all its tympanum and with ten margins of land ... stretching with one end on the spyckdyck [and with the other end on the] common street of the village'. In 1536, the estate was recognized as a knight's estate by the States of Utrecht. In 1646/47, Roelant Roghman made two drawings of Lievendaal, which had already fallen into ruin.

Amerongen Castle is a beautiful 'House' from the seventeenth century. The House, the garden and inventory form a unity that is not common in the Netherlands. The history of Amerongen Castle officially begins in 1286. On July 20 of that year, Floris V of Holland declared that Henric and Diederic Borre van Amerongen had become his fief of the "Huyse dat si do carpentry". The castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times in those early years. In 1557 the house was sold to Goert van Reede 1516-1585). He married Geertruid van Nijenrode, who was the heir to nearby Zuylestein. The first map depicting Amerongen Castle dates from 1597, the year in which the house was recognized as a knight's court town. Frederik van Reede inherited the house from his father and in turn left it to his son Goert. With Goert's son Godard Adriaan van Reede, who acquired the house in 1641, a new era began for the house.
