Almelo Castle

The moated castle of Almelo was originally built in the 13th century. It was extensively renovated in the mid 17th century and again in the 19th century. The 14th century chapel was rebuilt in the 18th century as a church, when the tower was given a timber spire. In the choir, built in sandstone at the end of the 15th century, can be seen the tomb of Count van Rechteren (1722).
