About the artwork

Doornenburg Castle is a Dutch castle dating from the 14th century. The castle is located in the east of the Betuwe and centrally in Gelderland, near the village of Doornenburg.

It consists of an outer bailey and a main bailey, connected by a narrow wooden bridge. It is one of the largest and best preserved castles in the Netherlands.
In the 9th century there was already a fortified house at the location of the castle, known as Villa Dorenburc. From this, a modest castle emerged in the 13th century. The present main castle was built in the 14th century and completed in the 15th century. In the 15th century the outer bailey was built. The outer bailey contains living quarters, a chapel and a farm. The latter is unique for a Dutch castle.
Doornenburg Castle remained inhabited until the 19th century. Then it fell into disrepair. In 1936, the Foundation for the Preservation of Doornenburg was established, which had the castle restored from 1937 onwards. The restoration was completed in 1941. At the end of the Second World War, the castle was almost completely destroyed. For a long time, it was thought that it had been blown up by the Germans, but it turned out to have been hit by a British bombardment in March 1945. From 1947 to 1968 the castle was completely rebuilt.

Fun fact: in 1968 the television series Floris was recorded at this castle.
