Kasteel d'Oultremont

The d'Oultremont Castle (Dutch: Kasteel d'Oultremont), once known as Steenenburgh Castle (Kasteel Steenenburgh) and as Huis te Drunen and nicknamed - for its current colour - the "Pink Castle" (Het Roze Kasteel), is a historic building located between the Dutch villages of Nieuwkuijk and Drunen, in the municipality of Heusden (North Brabant), erected as a fortress in 1230 and remodelled in the 15th century and between the 18th and 19th centuries. The building, which during the 20th century was owned by the d'Oultremont family (hence its current name), now stands within the amusement park Het Land van Ooit. The building is classified as rijksmonument no. 37877.
