Slot Ravesteyn, Medieval castle ruins in Heenvliet, Netherlands.

The remaining foundations of Slot Ravesteyn include a stone keep with four corner towers and a surrounding moat system.

Built around 1250 by Hugo van Heenvliet, the castle served as both a residential fortress and a prison until its destruction in 1572.

The castle ruins stand as a testament to Dutch medieval architecture and represent one of five original fortified structures in the region.

Visitors can explore the castle grounds during summer Saturdays through guided tours organized by the Stede en Vrije Heerlykheyt Heenvliet foundation.

The castle cellars continued functioning as a prison for over a century after the main structure was destroyed during the Dutch revolt.
