Culture around the castle and museum

Kasteel Wijchen was first mentioned in written sources in 1392. It is within walking distance of Wijchen railway station, creating a notable link between arrival and cultural discovery. The Museumtuin De Tuun is located just behind the castle on the right. At Museum Kasteel Wijchen, archaeological finds are presented in a modern display; the museum also offers guided tours.

For a varied activity, Museum Kasteel Wijchen also offers an escape route on the theme of “Verhaal van Gelderland”. The Wijchense Molen provides a different insight into the local surroundings: it mills several types of grain every day. At the Wijchense Molen, the daily milling process involving several types of grain is therefore the specific focus.
