Loevestein Castle is situated in a unique location where the river Meuse and Waal join together and the provinces of Gelderland, Brabant and South Holland meet. It was here, in this typically Dutch river landscape, that the knight Dirc Loef van Horne built his castle in 1360. His choice, however, was not determined by the area's outstanding beauty, but by its strategic position. It was the ideal location to defend and from which to levy tolls. Loevestein Castle subsequently served as a military stronghold, as the state prison from which Hugo Grotius escaped in a book chest, and as part of the Dutch Waterline. Thanks to its military past, the area surrounding Loevestein Castle is one of the least spoilt cultural landscapes in the Netherlands and a unique spot where nature and culture unite as one.

Stichting Vrienden van Slot Loevestein. University of Groningen. Persoonlijke website. #Trendwatch wij zetten de ontwikkelingen in de Buitensport centraal in onze volgende reportage. Een jaar geleden verstrekte de provincie Gelderland al 1,75 miljoen euro subsidie aan Stichting Museum Slot Loevestein. Dat geld was onder meer bedoeld voor het inrichten van een bezoekerscentrum over de Hollandse Waterlinie en voor de herinrichting van de zolder van het slot.
The Patrons of Loevestein Castle Foundation (Dutch: Stichting Vrienden van Slot Loevestein) was set up over forty year ago. We refer to our business patrons as Loevestein’s Lords & Ladies. They support the museum with financial contributions so that we can continue creating new exhibitions and presentations.
Our Lords & Ladies are exclusive business patrons who support Loevestein Castle… exclusive in the sense that there are only one hundred Loevestein Lords and Ladies, and because they’re invited to attend special networking events at the castle every year. But first and foremost because they have stepped forward as ‘heirs’ to Hugo Grotius’ legacy and contribute towards protecting his ideology.
In this vein, they may call themselves Lords and Ladies of Loevestein.

Donations and the Dutch Gift & Inheritance Tax Act
The new Dutch Gift & Inheritance Tax Act (Geefwet) took effect on 01 January 2012, making it an even more interesting proposition for companies to donate to cultural institutions such as Loevestein Castle.
