Guided tours are organized every Friday and Saturday at Loenersloot Castle. A resident of the village of the same name, Loenersloot, complained to Utrecht landscape last year. ‘My father is held hostage in Loenersloot Castle, but I can’t find anything about that in the castle’, read guide Henk van de Graaf in a letter last year. “That was remarkable, because it is a remarkable event,” says the castle enthusiast. When another local resident offered a Second World War memorial, this was reason enough for the retired Van De Graaf to start researching the war history of the castle.
