Kasteel Woerden, Medieval fortress in Woerden, Netherlands.
The castle features a square layout with three round towers, one rectangular tower, and a drawbridge surrounded by a water-filled moat.
Duke John of Bavaria ordered the construction of this defensive structure between 1407 and 1415 to protect Holland's territory from Utrecht.
The castle transformed from a military fortress to various functions including a prison, hospital, and currently serves as a conference center.
The castle contains nine reception rooms accommodating up to 800 guests, equipped with modern facilities for conferences, weddings, and corporate events.
During the French occupation in 1672, the castle endured severe damage and later became part of the Old Dutch Water Line defense system.
