Around the year 1125, the Langbroeker Wetering must have been built for the reclamation of the marshland. The name Langbroek means 'long-swamp'. After the reclamation, the area became more and more popular with the nobility to build shelters in the form of residential towers and noble houses.
Sterkenburg Castle is also known as 'Knight's Court City'. A typical Utrecht name for a house or castle of which the knight was appointed by the Bishop of Utrecht and who also became a member of the States of Utrecht. The first mention of Sterkenburg dates back to 1261 and recognition as a Knight's Homestead took place in 1536. Other well-known knight's homesteads in Utrecht include Drakesteyn, Slot Zeist and Sandeburg and Lunenburg, also located on the Langbroeker Wetering.
The last major renovation of Sterkenburg Castle took place in 1848 by the then owner Mr. Kees Kneppelhout. This gave the castle its current shape. In addition to the dominant round tower, a square tower was added to the castle in 1867. In the 20th century, it fell into disrepair. Since 2004 it has been in the hands of the current owner who exploits the castle more commercially with, among other things, a B&B and as a wedding location.
