Toll House

The Tolhuis was a seigniorial castle that stood in Lobith until the 17th century. Lobith is part of the municipality of Zevenaar in the Dutch province of Gelderland.

In 1222, the Count of Guelders received permission from Emperor Frederick II to establish a toll on the 'Lobede' located on the Rhine, present-day Lobith. In addition to the original 'thick tower' or Donjon, a grand castle was built in or shortly after 1307. It was described as ''domus apud''. In the late Middle Ages, this so-called Tolhuis became the administrative and cultural centre of the strategically important area around the junction of the Rhine and Waal. In the disaster year of 1672, the castle was completely destroyed.
