Castle De Cannenburgh
The Kasteel De Cannenburgh , sometimes also called Kasteel Cannenburch , in German called Castle Cannenburch or Burg Cannenburch , is a moated castle from the 16th century in Vaassen in the municipality of Epe . It is located in the north of the Dutch province of Gelderland . The nearest major city is Apeldoorn, ten kilometers south . Zwolle is 25 kilometers away in the north. The name Cannenburgh dates back to the Middle Dutch word canna back, the Ried or reed means which gives an indication of a moist, reed-covered point with a lying in the middle castle.
The castle is protected as an architectural monument. It has the status of the Rijksmonument of the Netherlands (No. 520122).
history
The Gelderland military leader Maarten van Rossum had the moated castle built in 1543. After his death it passed into the possession of his nephew Hendrik van Isendoorn , who also managed the final completion. The castle remained in the possession of the D'Isendoorn à Blois family for over 300 years . After the widow of the last van Isendoorn died childless in 1881, the castle was threatened with closure. In 1882, however, it was bought by Eduard Baron van Lynden. In 1905 it came into the possession of Mrs. Frida Cleve-Mollard from Berlin, whose husband Richard Cleve was the last private resident of the palace. After the Second World War, the castle was confiscated by the Dutch state and in 1951 transferred to the “Foundation of Friends of Gelderland Castles” ( Stichting Vrienden der Geldersche Kasteelen ) for the symbolic price of one guilder . As part of a restoration of the castle between 1975 and 1981, the old furniture was added and since then it has been open to visitors again.
Building structure
The moated castle was built on the ruins of an old castle , the earliest mention of which is from 1365. Traces of this former fortification are still visible in the cellar of today's castle. In the 16th century a new building was built, the shape of which has largely been preserved to this day. The building complex, which contains many elements of Renaissance architecture , is completely surrounded by water. The floor plan is rectangular. At all four corners there are almost square, roofed defense towers , the northeast of which is provided with an onion hood . Another, higher onion dome, which clearly protrudes from the facade, was erected on the south-facing front. The coats of arms of Hendrik van Isendoorn and his wife Sophia Stommel are embedded in a sandstone sculpture directly above the entrance . Above that is another sandstone sculpture showing Maarten van Rossum. A drawbridge over the moat used to lead to the entrance . This was later replaced by a permanent arch bridge made of stone , which now leads past the left side of the former main entrance. At the beginning of the bridge there is a stone lion head on a pedestal on either side. Behind it is an iron bridge railing.

Interior decoration
Behind the entrance on the ground floor there is an elongated, narrow terrace , which is followed by a large hall behind it . On the right side there are representative rooms, a hunting room (also called the white chamber because of the light walls ) with an adjoining salon , in which there are also pictures of the previous owners, as well as the Huysum chamber with many oil paintings, which was named after the painter of the 17th century. Century Justus van Huysum was named. On the left side of the large hall there is a bedroom and a dining room, which is connected to the kitchen directly below via a steep spiral staircase . The blue porcelain service in the dining room still comes from the van Isendoorn family. Some rooms come with fireplaces equipped, the framing of Delft tiles are made. There is a boudoir in the defense tower to the northeast .

A stone spiral staircase leads to the first floor. The large hall there is decorated with oil paintings by important families from Gelderland. On the eastern side wall is a family tree with the ancestors of Elbert van Isendoorn à Blois and his first wife Maria Hadewig van Essen. The ceiling is paneled and covered with wooden planks. From the hall there is a room furnished as a library or study, which is also known as the Rode Kamer (Red Room) because of its red wallpaper . There is also a small chapel on the first floor . The sandstone epitaph embedded in the west wall there originally comes from a Roman Catholic church of the 16th century in the Duchy of Oldenburg , was purchased by Richard Cleve and inserted into the west wall of the chapel after 1900.

Outbuildings
On the west side in front of the castle is an elongated building that was used at times as a residential building for employees and their families. It has now been transformed into a cultural center on the history of the Cannenburgh and Gelderland. The former coach house on the opposite east side is now operated as a restaurant under its original name 't Koetshuis . Between the years 1660 and 1700 new water sources were tapped, which were led via weirs to an existing water mill . This is located northeast of the castle. The mill, which is used to grind spices, vegetables or buckwheat, is now operated with a turbine . The mill is not accessible to visitors.

Park
The total area of the castle with ancillary facilities and the associated parkland is a total of 24 hectares . A watermill was mentioned on the site as early as 1402. The park, which consists of forest-like areas, meadows, flower gardens, ponds, canals , cascades and avenues , has been redesigned several times over the centuries. The owners were at times also active in the timber industry and fish farming. In some areas, fruit and vegetable gardens were created for self-sufficiency. Many trees in the park are hundreds of years old. The entire complex now serves residents and visitors as a place to relax.
