"Doornenburg, a castle where the river... " a Doornenburg Travel Page by Pavlik_NL

Doornenburg , is a small village in the most South-Eastern corner of the "Betwue" (riverlands). Here the river Rhine splits in two, the Southern river Waal and the one turning North the Nederrijn (Lower Rhine), partly called the "Pannerdens Canal". Just outside the village lies the castle of Doornenburg, which would mean translated "Castle of the Thorns" or "Thornborough". In name, this must be the castle where Sleeping beauty waiting asleep a 100 years for her prince to kiss her awake.
The castle is the oldest in it's kind in The Netherlands and dates back to the 9th century. It's indeed a castle that looks exactly like the ones in fairytalebooks and visitors with me are always brought here (preferably by bike).
