            Saffelberg Castle

Saffelberg castle was first mentioned in the early 18th century, when it was occupied by the Wouters family.

In 1906, the Oldeneel tot Oldenzeel de Wouters de Bouchout family, who received the castle via inheritance, decided to replace the existing castle.  In 1912, the new castle was inaugurated, and the old castle was demolished.

In early 2007, the castle was sold to a wealthy industrialist.  Over a period of almost five years, he had Saffelberg Castle restored in every detail, so that it regained its former historical glory.
-------------------------
Het kasteel van Saffelberg werd voor het eerst vermeld in het begin van de 18de eeuw en werd toen bewoond door de familie Wouters.

In 1906 beslist de familie Oldeneel tot Oldenzeel de Wouters de Bouchout, die het kasteel via erfenis in bezit kreeg, het bestaande kasteel te vervangen.  In 1912 werd het nieuwe kasteel in gebruik genomen, en werd het oude kasteel afgebroken.

Begin 2007 werd het kasteel verkocht aan een rijke industrieel.  Deze liet kasteel Saffelberg gedurende een periode van bijna vijf jaar tot in de kleinste details restaureren, zodat het terug zijn oude historische glorie van weleer verkreeg.
