Brederode as a ruin and as early heritage conservation

The castle ruin in Santpoort brings together walls, views and archaeological finds with a historic kitchen garden and seasonal activities.

Plan your visit ↗

Readable walls

Follow the foundations, remains of walls and tower shapes, and ask which parts were restored in the nineteenth century. A ruin is also the result of conservation.

The last lady of the castle

Personal stories give the residents a face, but check which object or document supports the chosen episode.

Garden and view

The kitchen garden shows use alongside defence and status. Differences in level and stairs make many parts difficult to access.

Before you go
