Kasteel Ruwiel
Stichtse Vecht, Netherlands
Ruwiel Castle is a former castle and knight's court town near Oud-Aa in the Utrecht municipality of Stichtse Vecht. The name Ruwiel is first mentioned in 1226 as the property of Gijsbrecht van Ruwiel. The round castle along the river Aa, on the other side (east) of the hamlet of Oud-Aa, is strongly reminiscent of the German Vischering castle near Lüdinghausen. Until approximately 1315 it was inhabited by the Ruwiel family and then the Van Mijnden family until the mid-sixteenth century.
