Description

IJsselstein Castle is located in the centre of the town of the same name IJsselstein in the province of Utrecht. The castle was mentioned as early as 1144. The castle was demolished in 1418 with the approval of Jacoba of Bavaria and rebuilt in 1427.

The most famous inhabitants of the castle came from the Van Amstel family.
They founded the town of IJsselstein from the castle around 1300 and have called themselves Van IJsselstein ever since. Gijsbrecht van IJsselstein received permission from the bishop of Utrecht to build a parish church in IJsselstein. This St. Nicholas church was consecrated in 1310. Under Gijsbrecht, IJsselstein grew from a castle with some farms to a city.
