- Additional history behind the "Loevesteyn" Castle (original cabin name) - Dutch medieval water castle built by the knight Dirc Loef van Horne (hence "Loef's stein" (stone house) between 1357 and 1397. Until WWII, Loevestein Castle was part of the Hollandic Water Line, the main Dutch defense line that was based on flooding an area of land south and east of the western provinces. Currently the castle is used as a medieval museum and function centre.
