Hernen Castle
🇳🇱 Países Bajos
Hernen Castle is a Dutch castle from the 14th century.
It is a well-preserved medieval castle in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands. It is situated in the village of Hernen (municipality of Wijchen), in the far west of the Rijk van Nijmegen. It probably originated around 1350, and then consisted only of a keep and a curtain wall surrounding a bailey. The bailey was later filled in with other buildings, leaving a relatively small courtyard. The keep collapsed in the 18th century.
The castle has not been permanently inhabited since the 17th century and has never been besieged which is why it is still largely in its medieval state. It is the only castle in the Netherlands with a covered wall walk.
