Kasteel Aalst, Medieval castle in Zaltbommel, Netherlands
The castle structure features thick stone walls measuring 2 meters, incorporating defensive elements common to Dutch fortifications of its period.
First documented in 870 AD, the castle was constructed under the direction of Boudewijn II, Lord of Heusden, who also established castles in Brakel and Poederoijen.
The castle represents the architectural preferences of Dutch nobility, reflecting the era when wealthy merchants transformed their residences into symbols of power.
While the original castle no longer stands, visitors can explore the historical site where a primary school now operates at the coordinates 51.783536, 5.130775.
The castle's last visible structures remained until 1875, when final demolition occurred, though historical drawings preserve details of its square design and moat system.
