Book now for SCTE Benelux Gala Dinner

Don’t miss this year’s sumptuous Benelux Gala Dinner on 2 February 2017 at Montfoort Castle (Kasteel Montfoort) in the Netherlands. The black tie dinner will be preceded by a drinks reception, followed by a four-course banquet. Montfoort (or Montfurt) Castle is in the Dutch city of Utrecht. It was built in 1163 by Bishop Godfrey to protect the diocese from attack. The name comes from 'Mont Fortis’ or "strong mountain”. The castle was destroyed in 1672 during an invasion

of French troops under the leadership of Louis XIV – however, the old gatehouse and an octagonal tower remain standing.

The Montfurt family was the principal owner of the castle after the bishop up until 1648, when it sold the building to the city authorities. Since the beginning of the 19th century, the castle has been a hostel, then a school for girls and, since 1989, a restaurant that also hosts corporate meetings.
