Well Castle is a fully restored 14th century medieval castle located near the border with Germany, approximately 2 hours southeast of Amsterdam.
Well Castle is made up of two buildings: the Main Castle and the Outer Castle. There are two courtyards and two moats: an inner and outer moat. These moats once provided protection to the castle and today provide a place to swim for many birds including multiple varieties of ducks, black swans, and geese.
Emerson College obtained Kasteel Well in 1988 and since then has been using it to house students participating in a study abroad program.
