About Wedderborg

Wedderborg is a historic site. Location: Westerwolde Municipality, Province of Groningen.

From Wikipedia

The Wedderborg (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌʋɛdərˈbɔr(ə)x]; Borough of Wedde) is a borg, a type of castle in Groningen, in the village of Wedde in the Netherlands. The building has 14th, 15th, and 16th-century elements and is currently used as a hotel and restaurant. Wedderborg was built around 1370 by Egge Addinga who ruled the heerlijkheid Westerwolde on behalf of the bishop of Münster. The rule of the Addinga family was controversial. In 1478, the borg was destroyed by Groningen.
