Stapelen Castle, Medieval castle in Boxtel, Netherlands

The castle features an entrance building with arch friezes, battlements, stepped gables, and two western towers with ribbed vaults on the lower level.

Originally constructed in the 13th century, Kasteel Stapelen underwent a complete transformation into neo-Gothic style between 1857 and 1858 by contractor Goyarts from Tilburg.

The castle chapel contains a wooden altar table with a 1600s painting displaying the arms of Horne, plus 16th-century wooden figures of Mary and Gabriel.

The castle, located at Stapelen 1 in Boxtel, served as the main residence of Dutch Assumptionist priests for 104 years until its sale in September 2018.

An octagonal tower on the east side of the castle incorporates an internal net vault, while the knight's hall preserves original 14th-century architectural elements.
