Muramatsu Castle, Japanese castle in Gosen, Japan
The stone walls and earthen ramparts of Muramatsu Castle form a lowland fortress with dry moats surrounding its central bailey area.
Built in 1644 by Hori Naoyoshi, the castle underwent major renovations in 1850 when the ninth lord Hori Naoo received the status of castle lord.
The Local History Museum within the castle grounds displays detailed scale models of the main palace and southern palace of the secondary bailey.
The castle site, transformed into Muramatsu Castle Park, contains walking paths through preserved fortification features and educational facilities.
A preserved railcar from the former Kambara Railway stands within the castle grounds, connecting transportation history with feudal architecture.
