Schonauwen Castle is a castle founded in 1261 in the current municipality of Houten. It is located in the middle of the new housing estate De Steen.Schonauwen Castle was the most important building in the polders for centuries. Originally founded as a courtyard of the Premonstratensian abbey of Marienweerd near Beesd, the knight's court city already existed at the beginning of the 14th century. As a strategic outpost of the Counts of Culemborg, it will probably have been more than just a defensible residential tower from the start. The castle therefore appears in the list drawn up in 1536 of knight's manors whose owners were entitled to a place in the then established Provincial States of Utrecht.
