Loenersloot Castle is a castle and former knightly court town in Loenersloot, located on the western bank of the river Angstel. The castle is first mentioned in 1258. At that time it probably only consisted of a defense tower (donjon). It remained in the Van Loenersloot family until 1435, when it was sold to the Van Swieten family and in 1516 to the Van Amstel van Mijnden family. In 1707 the castle came into the possession of Diederik Johan baron van Stepraedt and in 1766 of Hendrik Willem van Hoorn. The latter gentleman started with demolition, but when he went bankrupt four years later, the property was sold to Andries Strick van Linschoten. In the 19th century, the 13th-century residential tower was completely walled up and provided with battlements. The other parts of the castle date from the 14th/15th century (the wings) and the 18th century, when the existing buildings were merged into a country estate. After their marriage in 1791, the castle came into the possession of the Martini Buys family; the last resident was Jkvr Magdalena Ferdinanda Maria Martini Buys (1909-1997). At the insistence of Baron Taets van Amerongen, she transferred the castle to the Loenersloot Castle Foundation in 1985. The King's Commissioner of the Province of Utrecht is a member of the foundation board. Since 2011, the Utrecht Landscape Foundation has managed the castle complex on behalf of the Loenersloot Castle Foundation. In 2012/13 the castle and the castle park were radically restored and partly opened to the public. Small groups are allowed to visit the castle to view some of the rooms accompanied by a guide who conducts the tour inside the castle and tells us about the rooms. It was a great experience and unforgettable. Please bear in mind to order tickets online prior to visit to make a reservation. The castle is not wheelchair accessible. The surroundings and the park though are well worth a visit on their own.

It’s a beautiful castle and I believe full of history, I didn’t had the chance to go inside, but as I saw you can go all the way to the top so maybe is worth it. The issue concerns to the location, that is not that easy accessible by city bikes or trains, you must go by car or sport bike to have a better experience because there is also not much to see in the village of the castle :)

Beautiful castle and surrounding park, very well maintained by the foundation. Our guide was extraordinarily kind and accommodated our lack of dutch skills by giving us a tour in English. You can enjoy a great view from the top of the tower and hear all about the history of the castle and surrounding area. PS: it's only accessible by booking the guided tour.

Ben je een kasteelliefhebber dan is kasteel Loenersloot een absolute must. Magdalena barones Van Nagell - Martini Buys was de laatste bewoonster. Zij overleed in 1997 en werd 88 jaar. Haar broer Paulus erfde de inboedel van het kasteel waaronder kostbaar porselein en de collectie schilderijen.

Na de restauratie van het kasteel in 2012 kon een deel van die inboedel worden gekocht door de huidige kasteeleigenaar het Utrechts landschap. Het kasteel is dus ingericht met de originele inboedel. We kunnen zien hoe de barones en haar voorouders hebben gewoond.

Ondanks de restauraties hangt er in het kasteel nog de sfeer alsof de barones elk ogenblik voor je neus zal staan. Een prettige persoonlijkheid was ze niet. Dus laten we blij zijn dat een confrontatie met de barones uitgesloten is.

Is het een mooi kasteel? Nee, dat is het niet. Het is samenraapsel van bouwstijlen door de eeuwen heen. Maar dat maakt een bezoek juist zo interessant. Het oudste gedeelte is de Donjon die omstreeks 1250 is gebouwd. Inderdaad, de tijd van Graaf Floris V, De rest van het kasteel is later bijgebouwd en deels ook weer afgebroken. Tijdens de rondleiding wordt uitvoerig op die bouwgeschiedenis ingegaan. Het uitzicht vanaf de Donjon is geweldig.

Wij krijgen helaas niet alles tijdens de rondleiding te zien. Om de kosten te dekken is een deel van het kasteel permanent verhuurd. Toch blijft er nog genoeg over om samen met de gidsen te ontdekken. Daarnaast is het park rondom het kasteel een bezoekje waard.

Regelmatig worden er lezingen en concerten in het kasteel georganiseerd. Jammer is dat het kasteel alleen op vrijdag en zaterdag te bezoeken is en in de winter gesloten. De Museumkaart is niet geldig maar de toegang is vriendelijk geprijsd. Reserveren via de website is...
