Story · De Casteelse Poort

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at De Casteelse Poort, a small museum in Wageningen. It's housed in Villa Vada, a nineteenth-century house. But look closely, because the house was built using the remains of something much older: the gatehouse of Wageningen's sixteenth-century castle. That's where the museum gets its name, the Castle Gate.
