Visitor reviews

For ages I had planned to have a look and finally it came. Beautiful castle to wander around for a while and to enjoy the view from the battlements. Drank an excellent cappuccino in the museum café. Nice people who went out of their way to make my visit as pleasant as possible.

Radboud Castle Is really a must for young and old. And what a friendly and enthusiastic volunteers. You feel welcome and our son (3 years) had a great time. There is a very nice playroom and there are binoculars in the tower room. Outside on the battlements you have a beautiful view. We will definitely visit again in the future. Our son is still full of knights and pirates.
