In its 800 years, the castle has witnessed quite a number of events. We know that in 1595 Countess Maria of Nassau, gave a great banquet for prince Maurits and other VIPs. Now you too can make the castle your venue. It is a grand place for your wedding – from the civil ceremony to the dinner party. The castle is an inspiring place to host corporate events ,too. Guest accommodation (luxury B&B) can be arranged in the two towers on the outer bailey. Visit our website for more information www.huisbergh.nl or ask our staff. Huis Bergh does not get any structural state funding and runs the castle on the basis of cultural entrepreneurship. The Huis Bergh foundation not only comprises the premises and the art collection, but also the archives, 500 hectares in grounds and a number of monumental buildings. You can support us by simply buying items in the shop, by becoming a Friend of the Castle, as an entrepreneur or even as a knight.

For centuries, Huis Bergh Castle was the ancestral castle of the powerful Van den Burgh counts. The castle's building history dates back to the 12th century. Jan Herman van Heek, an industrialist from Enschede, purchased the castle in 1912. He amassed a collection of late medieval artworks that are on display in the castle even today. There is also the possibility to have your (wedding)party here or stay the night in one of the luxury suits in a former defense tower.
