Assumburg, Medieval château in Heemskerk, Netherlands
The square stone castle features four corner towers, surrounded by a moat and extensive gardens with fruit orchards and rose sections.
Originally constructed in the 13th century as Willems woning van Velsen, the castle underwent major renovations in 1694 under Jean Deutz ownership.
The castle gardens incorporate traditional Dutch horticultural elements, including formal geometric patterns and specialized sections for vegetables and herbs.
The château functions as a youth hostel since 1933, offering accommodations in a historical setting with access to the reconstructed gardens.
During an 1881 cholera outbreak, the castle temporarily transformed into a hospital to care for affected local residents.
