Castle Warmelo

Estate Warmelo is located on the edge of the town of Diepenheim in the municipality of Hof van Twente. In 1952 the house was bought by Prince Bernhard. His mother, Princess Armgard, lived in the house until her death in 1971. Princess Beatrix and her sisters loved to visit their grandmother Prince Armgard. Warmelo Castle was a warm address for the House of Orange. It is not without reason that they spoke of the 'Warme Lo' and the 'Koude Loo' (Paleis het Loo where Grandma Wilhelmina lived). The princesses could enjoy the beautiful gardens and large lawns at Warmelo. There were aviaries with exotic birds and a monkey. In the park they could play and walk. In 1976 the estate was sold to the Avenarius family, who use the estate and live in the house. The castle is surrounded by a park, with a total area of 7 hectares. A marked walking route introduces you to four centuries of garden architecture: 16th and 17th century French style garden including a rococo pond, statues, a rose garden and a bird garden; a pinetum, built in the English style in the 18th century, a birch avenue, a star forest and ponds. Het Warmelo has a large collection of azaleas, large rhododendrons, exotic plants and many container plants. There is a tea room in the coach house.
