The castle was built in a relatively short time and has dominated Woerden's city center ever since. The first mention dates from 1415 and can be found on a drawing for the castle's construction. Based on this document, it is assumed that construction began in 1410. Steward Heynric Hermans is considered the first resident. He was an innkeeper and represented the Duke of Brabant, Jan van Beieren, who built the castle in Woerden. Even then, the castle served as a safe haven for the Duke's guests. The towers are connected by stone-vaulted corridors. At the end of the 15th century, it was used as the official residence of the Bailiff of the Land of Woerden. It retained this function until the end of the 18th century. In the 19th century, it served as a prison for men for a time, and later for women. Afterward, it served as a central warehouse for military supplies, a function the castle retained until the early 1980s. Now, more than 600 years later, Woerden Castle is known as the premier event venue in the Groene Hart region and serves as a safe haven for all its guests.

In 1574, the Netherlands, including the city of Leiden, was occupied by the Spanish during the Eighty Years' War. William of Orange breached the dikes, flooding the land. This allowed the Sea Beggars to sail from Rotterdam to Leiden. On September 21, 8,000 Beggars with 400 ships ran aground near 't Geertje farm on Geerweg. They had to wait for high tide. During a heavy storm and rain, the Beggars managed to sail on again on October 2. On October 3, 1574, they liberated Leiden from the Spanish. Since then, the people of Leiden have celebrated the Relief of Leiden on October 3. Source: Zoetermeermijnstad.nl
