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. It changed hands many times until 1594 when it became part of the Dutch Republic. Wedderborg remained the seat of the court of Westerwolde until 1818. In 1828, the borg became privately owned.
