Takatsuki Castle, Japanese castle in Takatsuki, Japan
The castle grounds extended 630 meters east to west and 580 meters north to south, featuring multiple baileys and a three-story main tower.
Near the end of the 10th century, in 990, Kondo Tadanori established the fortification, which later became a significant stronghold during the Sengoku period.
The castle served as a center for Christian activities under the leadership of Takayama Ukon, who promoted religious practices in the castle town.
The castle ruins are accessible within a 10-minute walk from Takatsuki-shi Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line or a 15-minute walk from JR Takatsuki Station.
The white castle walls caught the attention of Dutch trader Engelbert Kaempfer in 1691, who documented their striking appearance against the landscape.
