Germany
Boetzelaer Castle stands in Appeldorn, a district of Kalkar in the district of Kleve. Its origins date back to the 13th century. The moated castle lies on a former arm of the Rhine south of the so-called Boetzelaer Sea on the Lower Rhine. Its builders, the Lords of Boetzelaer, were among the most powerful knightly families of the region in the 13th and 14th centuries and were able to defend their independence against the County of Kleve for a long time.
