Kasteel Groot Engelenburg

Groot Engelenburg is a country house on a 50-hectare estate with a golf course located in Brummen in the Dutch province of Gelderland.

The country house was built on the spot where a medieval castle originally stood. It was set on fire and destroyed by the Spanish army in 1624 during the Invasion of the Veluwe. In 1641 Jacob II Schimmelpenninck built a new country house on the foundations of the castle, which he used for hunting. Later it was owned as a holiday and conference centre by the Twentsche Bank and, after a merger, by the Algemene Bank Nederland. Since 1987 it has been a hotel-restaurant. Groot Engelenburg is included in the register of rijksmonumenten.
