Stadskasteel Oudaen

  Stadskasteel Oudaen sits at the edge of Utrecht's historic city center, specifically on the charming Oudegracht canal. Dating back to the 13th century, this former city castle has a rich history that includes serving as a strategic defense stronghold. Today, it functions as a brewery and restaurant, allowing visitors to enjoy locally brewed beers alongside a menu of seasonal dishes. In December, the atmosphere is particularly inviting as the castle is beautifully lit for the festive season. Guests can explore the building’s medieval architecture while sampling craft beers in its atmospheric settings.
