Duivenvoorde Castle is a brick museum and château in Voorschoten, South Holland, in the Netherlands, first mentioned in 1226 and among the oldest castles in the province. It is notable for never having been sold, passing instead by inheritance through several noble houses, sometimes through the female line. For its first five centuries it belonged to the Van Duivenvoorde family, who formed part of the House of Wassenaer; late in the 17th century an owner readopted the Van Wassenaer name. It is a Rijksmonument.
