Welcome to Huis Bergh. This audio tour takes you on a trip through the castle. It will tell you about the various rooms, the art collection and the castle itself. The history of the castle dates back to the early Middle Ages and it has been the home of a number of influential families. The castle was built on this location as early as the 13th century. It was the ancestral home of the Van den Bergh lords and counts. In the 18th century the castle passed into the hands of the aristocratic German Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen dynasty. In 1912 the castle and its possessions were acquired by textile industrialist Jan Herman van Heek from the then Dutch textile capital Enschede. He made it the home of a unique collection of mediaeval art. He set up a trust, which is still responsible for the day to day running of the castle, its grounds and its art collection. These days, the castle is a much loved venue for weddings, private and corporate events. In the two towers we offer luxury Bed and Breakfast accommodation. The grounds and gardens are among the oldest of the Netherlands. Will you join us on our tour of the castle?
