Amerongen Castle in Utrecht

Amerongen Castle might not be associated with the medieval time period That many castles That still stand are, but that's Because this Netherlands tourist attraction, as it stands today, was actually built sometime between 1673 and 1680 after the French burnt the previous standing castle to the ground.

However, while the only thing truly medieval about Amerongen Castle Is that it's built on the site where one formerly Existed, the historic structure is still used widely Considered among the most popular things to do in the Netherlands. That's Largely thanks to its on-site gardens and conservatory, as well as it being the site where former German Kaiser Wilhelm II signed his abdication following World War I. In fact, the desk and room where he completed the act are still there for tourists to see.
