Wijenburg Castle

Wijenburg Castle or Huis te Echteld is a castle in the municipality of Neder-Betuwe, located on the east side of the village of Echteld, in the Dutch province of Gelderland.
The date of its foundation is not known. The oldest mentions of this castle date back to 1178. From 1272 the property was in the possession of the Van Wijhe family. When that family became extinct in the male line in 1751, the castle came into the hands of the Van Wassenaer family through a marriage and in 1817, again through marriage, of the Van Balveren family. When this family became extinct in 1944, it was acquired by Bernard Frederik baron van Verschuer, whose mother was a descendant of the Van Balveren family. In 1956, Van Verschuer donated the castle to the Friends of Geldersche Kasteelen Foundation.
