About

Getting married at Castle Hernen; the castle in the Land of Maas & Waal

The authentic medieval Castle Hernen has been designated by the municipality of Wijchen as an official wedding location.

Hernen is an example of a castle that has slowly evolved over time. Defense made way for living comfort. In the tower (14th century), you can even touch the roof structure that is more than 500 years old. Walk along the unique covered walkways that are rare in the Netherlands! The spectacular multimedia show in the attic sheds light on the mystery of the vanished corner tower.

Your wedding day should be a day to remember forever.
The ceremony can be held from 2025 in the newly renovated 16th-century wedding hall or, if the weather is nice, in the intimate castle garden. 

Of course, you can also come to us for organizing the entire wedding day up to the dinner. After the official ceremony, there is an opportunity to toast together on the terrace of the former Donjon and cut the wedding cake, followed by a delicious dinner with close family and best friends. Everything can be tailored to your wishes; in principle, the castle is not set up, but we work closely with other parties to decorate the castle according to your taste and wishes. 

We strive to provide you with an unforgettable day. Make an appointment with us at the castle so we can enthusiastically show you the entire location and discuss the possibilities with you. Castle Hernen is a top location for the beginning of a fantastic marriage.

Samenwerking met het kasteel was erg fijn, van tevoren dacht ze mee, had tijd en aandacht voor ons en er was veel mogelijk. Op de dag zelf sprong ze bij waar mogelijk en was erg behulpzaam. Het kasteel is prachtig en was geheel tot ons beschikking. We hebben onwijs genoten."

Kasteel Hernen was PRACHTIG op onze trouwdag. Het werd door onze ceremoniemeesters mooi aangekleed, maar het kasteel heeft van zichzelf weinig nodig om het een feestelijke uitstraling te laten zijn. Alles zag er prachtig uit, was netjes schoon gemaakt/opgeruimd. We mochten overal gebruik van maken (koffiezetapparaat, waterkoker en zelfs de koelkast voor wat kleine hapjes). Het contact met Magda was erg prettig, ze wilde ons met alles helpen en was heel begripvol. We hebben ontzettend genoten van de mooie locatie, het heerlijke eten dat door CN Partyservice geregeld was (vaste cateraar bij Kasteel Hernen) en gelukkig was het super mooi weer waardoor alles er nog net iets feestelijker uit zag. TOP trouwlocatie! :)"
