THE BENTHEIM CASTLE

You are invited to take a pictorial tour of the Bentheim Castle and meet its owner.  This is nothing like taking an actual tour, but it can give you a glimpse of the castle's glory. 

The castle has its own website with information on it's history etc.  This website is provided in English as well as German.  You can visit it by clicking on: Burg Bentheim

Thanks to Harold Huizenga, the Society's Vice President, for many of the photos of the castle.
