Kasteel Almere, Abandoned château in Almere Haven, Netherlands
The unfinished castle structure stands near the A6 highway, featuring incomplete walls, towers, and foundations spread across the construction site.
Construction of the castle began in September 2000 with an initial budget of 36 million euros but ceased in 2002 due to financial complications.
The castle design drew inspiration from the 13th-century Château Jemeppe in Belgium, intending to replicate its medieval architectural elements in modern times.
The castle site remains fenced off to visitors, with security measures preventing access to what has become the largest contemporary ruin in Netherlands.
The incomplete structure now functions as a protected habitat for local bat populations that have established colonies within its hollow walls.
