The original castle dates from the Middle Ages, it was destroyed by the Spanish army in 1624 during the invasion of the Veluwe. Jacob Schimmelpenninck II built a new country house on the foundations, which he used for hunting. Later it was owned as a holiday and conference resort by the Twentsche Bank and after a merger of the Algemene Bank Nederland. It has been a hotel restaurant since 1987. Groot Engelenburg is listed in the register of national monuments.
