Forgotten History
Dompselaer
Wijk bij Duurstede, Netherlands
Dompselaer is a former castle and knight's court town near Overlangbroek, municipality of Wijk bij Duurstede, in Utrecht. The castle was probably built in or shortly after 1436 and was a fief of the lords of Gaasbeek. In that year it was loaned to Johan van Broekhuysen Dirksz, the sheriff of the village of Langbroek, but the deed does not yet mention a castle. Through a marriage, the castle came into the hands of the Van Dompselaer family, and the castle continued under this name.
