Castle Amerongen...

Today I visited Castle Amerongen.
Castle Amerongen is from the 17th century. Castle Amerongen has a rich family-history, going back 700 years.
Godard Adriaan van Reede (1621-1691) held a key-position in the insurrection against the French supremacy. As a retribution the house was burnt down by the French in 1673, but rebuilt by his wife Margaretha Turnor. The German Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859-1941) lived at Castle Amerongen for 18 months and signed his abdication here in 1918. The desk at which this happened is still present in the castle... @ Amerongen, Netherlands
