Bolenstein, Medieval château in Maarssen, Netherlands

The castle stands on the western bank of the Vecht river with a square roof, turret, clock tower, and decorative wrought iron gates topped with lion figures.

Built in the 14th century, the château underwent major modifications in 1825, including the replacement of its double roof with twin gables for a square design with a turret.

This Rijksmonument exemplifies medieval Dutch architecture, featuring an empire style facade and rare 18th-century pendulum clock tower on the roof.

Located at Bolensteinseweg 1 in Maarssen, the property includes two outbuildings with mansard roofs and a garden pavilion from the Doornenburgh estate.

The castle changed ownership multiple times since 1340, from medieval knight Otto Snaef to film producer Matthijs van Heijningen and real estate investor Jan-Dirk Paarlberg.
