Welcome to the completely renovated Assumburg Castle! Here you'll stay like a true lord or lady in a beautiful 13th-century castle!
Heemskerk is centrally located between Alkmaar, Haarlem and Amsterdam. This is the perfect starting point! From a walk in the dunes near Castricum aan Zee to a visit to the capital. There are also plenty of great day trips for the whole family in the surrounding area, such as De Zaanse Schans and Fort Veldhuis.
This 13th-century castle, Slot Assumburg, is a sight to see! A large entrance, lavish halls, the moat, it's all truly bewitching. A lovely and sizeable garden can be found behind the castle, a wonderful place to relax. You can book a shared or private room, each with its own shower and toilet. New is our Castle Tower Family Room: a special themed room, fully decorated in the style of knights and princesses. Go on a treasure hunt through the castle and discover its history. An extra fun experience for the kids! In the morning a princely breakfast buffet awaits you.

Reviews are important. For you and for us. It helps you to make the right choice and helps us to learn. That is why we post reviews on external (booking) sites on our own website.
Guests receive an email after their stay to leave a review. The scores are calculated by means of an analysis of the written review and are based on the past 12 months. Written reviews are summarised because we cannot show them in full due to copyright issues. But positive or negative, we post them all. We do not pay for reviews and fake reviews are reported.
