Oud Wulven, Houten, Medieval castle ruins in Houten, Netherlands.
Kasteel Oud-Wulven stood on an artificial hill with a tower, surrounded by a moat and defensive structures near the Oud Wulfseweg road.
Ernst van Wulven established the castle in 1296, transferring it to Count Floris of Holland, which sparked opposition from the Bishop of Utrecht.
The castle site contains restored 18th-century entrance pillars leading to a farmhouse, preserving elements of Dutch architectural heritage from multiple periods.
The castle remains are located at Koedijk 1 in Houten, accessible through the surrounding farmland near the De Gaarde neighborhood.
A restored portal from the original castle structure has been integrated into the facade of the municipal building in Houten.
