Beautiful routes here!!

Unprecedentedly beautiful 🤩

You can't fully explore the gardens. The gardens themselves are quite different from the castle, but if you're there, you can.

Beautiful castle and surroundings, castle is partly in scaffolding unfortunately

The name Slangenburg has nothing to do with snakes, but with the Slingebeek stream that meanders through the landscape here. It was once called the "Slingeburcht," but over time, this was corrupted to Slangenburg. Thus, the estate bears the name of the stream that has been winding its way through here for centuries.

Castle Slangenburg was first mentioned in 1354 as the property of Maes (Thomas) van Baer. In 1585 it was destroyed by the troops of the States General and could only be rebuilt during the Twelve Years' Truce, and in the 17th century the castle became the property of General Frederik Johan van Baer (1645-1713), who rebuilt it for residential purposes. In the 18th century it came into the possession of the Steengracht family, and in 1781 it passed to the Van der Goltz family, who managed it until 1863, before the Van der Goltz heirs sold it in 1895. The last private owners, since 1895 the Passmann family (Herrmann Paßmann), were a German entrepreneur family. The members of this family are buried in the private cemetery behind the car park. After the war, all German property was confiscated and the castle and the buildings within the outer moat became the property of the Dutch state.

The Anholt moated castle in Isselburg is one of the most impressive castle complexes in Westphalia and has been the family property of the Princely House of Salm and Salm-Salm since 1641 and is privately inhabited. The moated castle is surrounded by a 35 hectare, beautiful castle park. Directly adjacent to the historic landscape park is a golf course and Anholter Schweiz, which is well worth seeing. You shouldn't miss a short trip across the border to the beautiful Achterhoek.
