A Château of History and Elegance
Kasteel Engelenburg
Enjoy the historic ambiance of this impressive castle on the edge of the Veluwe. At Kasteel Engelenburg you can eat, drink and sleep to an exceptional standard and have a splendid 9-hole golf course at your disposal. The English Lounge at Kasteel Engelenburg houses one of the largest collections of single malt whiskies in the Netherlands. Wine lovers will not be disappointed here either. In the 16th century the first owner of the castle, Jacob Schimmelpenninck van der Oye, traded in German wines. Nowadays, they have an excellent collection of various wines. The rooms and suites are furnished partly in antique style, and are situated in the Coach House, the Orangery or in the Cape House, which has the atmosphere of a Cape winery. The fairytale view from the 19th century conservatory restaurant over the moat and golf course will transport you back to another era. Dinner is of course complemented with excellent wines.
Timeless elegance with a contemporary touch
Restaurant Judith
Located in the stately 19th-century conservatory of Kasteel Engelenburg, Restaurant Judith offers a refined culinary experience where classical flavours meet modern finesse. From the restaurant, you’ll enjoy enchanting views of the moat and the expansive golf course. Chef Thomas Kooijman presents seasonal dishes with a minimalist signature. His focus lies on pure, locally sourced ingredients, with the main ingredient always taking centre stage. Each dish tells a story—sometimes even a historic recipe, reinterpreted for today. Breakfast is served with equal care, in a peaceful and elegant setting, featuring fresh daily products and homemade delicacies. Sommelier Jorik Salet curates perfect wine pairings with a refined touch. The carefully composed wine list is partly sourced from the castle’s historic wine cellar, which also hosts exclusive tastings. In summer, the terrace by the moat offers the same understated elegance.
A private 9-hole golf course
Golf course Kasteel Engelenburg
To the left of the main entrance you will find the lively Lounge and Bars of Kasteel Engelenburg. Here you can have a cup of coffee, lunch, a drink with a refreshment or a light meal in an informal ambiance. The English Lounge is particularly known for its special cabinet, the Scottish single malt whisky collection, which has won many awards. But the Lounge is also the ideal ambiance for an aperitif, a traditional English High Tea or an Afternoon Tea. When the weather is nice, the beautiful terraces along the moat or on the castle square are a great place to relax. The terrace on the moat is so beautiful that we actually have to keep it a secret.
Unwinding between history and nature
Wellness Mirre
Wellness Mirre is the spa of Kasteel Engelenburg, located in the estate’s former carriage house. Whether you’re unwinding after a walk through the Veluwe or simply looking for a peaceful moment to yourself, this is the place to relax. The spa features a Finnish sauna, heated plunge pool, whirlpool, and a cosy relaxation room with views over the garden and moat. In the treatment room, guests can choose from massages or facials, performed by professional therapists using high-quality products. The former Orangerie Suite has been completely renovated and transformed into a luxurious wellness suite with a private sauna, freestanding bathtub, separate living room, and a canopy bed. Spread over two floors, it’s perfect for guests seeking privacy, comfort, and extra space. The name ‘Mirre’ is inspired by the calming power of ancient natural oils – a subtle nod to the relaxing character of this new addition to the castle.
