Amerongen Castle Kasteel
The medieval castle of Amerongen, set in a large park, was destroyed by the French in 1673, and only part of the keep survives. A new castle was built between 1676 and 1681, and the interior was remodeled in the late 19th century by P. J. H. Cuypers. Of particular interest are his ceiling paintings in the Upper Gallery, the Dining Room and the Tapestry Room.
