It is often believed that Wardenburg Castle, which is sometimes referred to as Wardenburg Castle, is one of the most haunted residences in the Netherlands. Furthermore, it is among the most disturbing scenarios, taking into consideration that the house is now in a condition of disrepair and is waiting to undergo rehabilitation. The vast majority of the time, it is unoccupied. It is said that there is a ghost that may be seen moving up and down the stairs throughout the night. It is possible to hear footsteps and whispers in specific rooms.

Voices may also be heard. In places where there was never a toilet before, flushing toilets is now common practice. In the east wing of the house, there is a room that is said to be haunted. Things move on their own accord. There are some areas of the home that are susceptible to experiencing cold drafts, and so on. The castle is said to have been the home of the medieval magician known as Dr. Faust, and it is said that the devil provided him with medical treatment from that location. In addition to the fact that human remains were found in the basements, it is also stated that the devil was responsible for sending Doctor Faust to hell. The two blood stains that are positioned on the cannot be removed since they are hard to erase.

They are silent witnesses to the incident that took place close to the estates of Einan and Vardenburg. The construction of the Wardenberg Castle took place in the thirteenth century. Because the South Wing was destroyed during the 80-year war and was never rebuilt, the reason for this is that it was never rebuilt. At this location, just fifty percent of the original structure is still standing standing. The infamous Dr. Faust is said to have taken up residence at the castle at one point in time, according to the urban legend. At the fulfillment of his deal with the devil, it was reported that he was thrown from the tower of the Castle at its completion from the palace to the tower.

This occurred after the pact itself had been completed. On the other hand, in this specific situation, Wardenberg is an exception to the norm that stipulates that the exact building date of Medieval Castles is seldom known. Count Otto 2 of the Guilders gave a promise to the knight Rudolph Decock on August 2nd, 1265, to provide the castle of Wardenburg. The first tower that Knight Rudolph built was made of wood. Count Otto 2 of the Guilders made this promise. However, it was immediately replaced with a tower that was constructed out of stone.

Through the efforts of his son and grandson, the keep was changed into a circular castle. This castle included three wings that were joined to one another over a round wall. The towers Bailey and a moat were each protected by a. The physician is known as Faust. Within the walls of Wardenburg Castle was where the infamous Dr. Faust called home. This is according to a story that was written in 1842 and published in the Gelderlands Folk Almanac, which was a publication of the Gelderlands Folk Salmanac. Between Faust and the devil, a bargain had been reached and agreed upon. So, in exchange for Faust's soul, according to this. For the next seven years, you should provide him access to every single piece of knowledge that exists in the whole planet. In the course of seven years, during which he made improper use of this gift, the devil made his appearance with the intention of stealing his soul.

Despite the fact that Faust was dragged out of the tower of the castle by his hair, the indelible blood streaks that he left behind can still be seen on the walkway. It is a fact that Johann Georg Faust lived, and that he was kept hostage in Battenberg Castle for a period of years. On this day, this fact is confirmed. there were one hundred years of conflict. During the conflict that lasted for eighty years.

On account of the fact that she was residing in the castle at the time, Catherine Van Gelder found herself on the side of the Spaniards. When William of Orange heard about this decision, he did not take it well. In the year 1574, he lay siege to the castle, which resulted in the destruction of the fence that surrounded the Bailey as well as the south side of the edifice. Both of which were never brought back to their original state.

There is a possibility that this is the reason why the castle is presently shaped like a horseshoe. A number of different aristocratic families made use of the remaining portion of the castle as a place of living throughout the 17th century, when it was subjected to refurbishment operations.

The structure has lately been subjected to a significant amount of modifications, and it is presently being used as a location of economic activity. There are just a few people that are permitted to enter the castle.
