Nijenborgh Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Weert, Netherlands
The remains of Nijenborgh Castle include sections of curtain walls, portions of towers, and a mansion built upon the foundation of a southern square tower.
Jacob I constructed Nijenborgh Castle in 1455 as an administrative center, featuring a rectangular layout with two square towers and a bailey connected by a bridge.
The site now contains an equestrian statue of Philips de Montmorency, Count of Horne, measuring 2.60 meters tall and weighing over 1,000 kilograms.
The castle grounds have transformed into a public park with new bridges connecting the historic forecourt to the wall, offering walking and cycling paths.
The walls of the remaining towers measure 3.5 meters in thickness, demonstrating the substantial fortification techniques used in medieval Dutch castle construction.
