Nijeveld, Medieval castle ruins in Vleuten, Netherlands
The archaeological site contains two islands with remaining walls from the former castle complex within De Milan Viscontipark in De Meern.
First mentioned in 1288, the castle endured a seven-week siege in 1356 by Jan van Egmond's troops, resulting in its plunder and burning.
The castle residents contributed to establishing a chapel near Meernbrug, which influenced the development of De Meern settlement in the 15th century.
The remains of Nijeveld are situated approximately 1.5 kilometers west of Meernbrug in the Veldhuizen polder region of Utrecht.
The site preserves evidence of a Roman road and sits on a former Rhine river branch where Roman ships once sailed.
