Gebroken Slot, Castle ruin in Grubbenvorst, Netherlands.

Two remaining tower fragments stand along the Maas River, marking the location of a medieval fortification in the Limburg province.

The original castle, constructed in 1311, underwent renovations in the 15th century before its destruction in 1585, followed by a manor house built in 1623.

The structure holds national recognition as a Rijksmonument since 1968, preserving the architectural legacy of the medieval period in the Netherlands.

Visitors can locate the ruins at coordinates 51.4103687, 6.1477619, accessible via Venloseweg street in the postal district 5971PB of Grubbenvorst.

The final destruction of the remaining castle structure occurred in 1944 during World War II, when the buildings were deliberately demolished.
