Binckhorst Castle, Medieval castle in The Hague, Netherlands
The stone walls and towers of Binckhorst Castle stand on foundations dating from 1308, representing centuries of Dutch architectural evolution and modifications.
The castle experienced multiple sieges during the Hook and Cod Wars of 1351 and 1359, leading to its capture and subsequent reconstruction.
Archaeological excavations in 1936 revealed a medieval floor plan demonstrating construction techniques and spatial organization of early Dutch defensive structures.
Located near the Haagse Trekvliet canal, the castle now houses a kindergarten and remains accessible for exterior viewing throughout the year.
The structure underwent complete foundation reconstruction in the 1930s, incorporating original materials while rebuilding to prevent structural collapse.
