The original Koningsteen (King’s Stone) dates back to the 13th century. After the wars the castle remained unattended for a quite some time. It became a meeting place for lovers who carved their names in the bark of the trees. Some of them are still visible today.


The Courtyard

Our courtyard features a calming fountain at the center of a beautiful laid out six-pointed star or or hexagram; a geometric shape historically used in religious and cultural contexts throughout times. Even though it is most commonly recognized as the Star of David, six-pointed stars have also been found in cosmological diagrams, representing two triangles - one pointed up and the other down - locked in harmonious embrace, symbolizing man's position between earth and sky.
