Heeswijk Castle
Kasteel Heeswijk
A moated medieval castle whose interior recreates a 19th-century collector's antiques and art displays.
Heeswijk Castle was begun in the 11th century and sits in the woods about 12 kilometers southeast of Den Bosch. The brick castle is surrounded by a double moat and looks like something from a fairy tale. In the 19th century, collector Baron Van den Bogaerde converted it into a 'private museum'. Today his collection display has been restored, including weapons, paintings, and antique furniture. Walking trails run through the surrounding forest, and there is a café on the grounds. Admission is about €15. Opening days vary by season, so check the official website before visiting. It is well suited to visitors arriving by car or bicycle.
