Seldensate, Medieval estate ruins in Middelrode, Netherlands
Seldensate estate spans 10 hectares and contains remnants of a gateway with pigeon tower, brewery ruins, and former country house foundations.
The estate originated around 1300 with the Gewatse farmstead near a ford in the Aa River, later expanding into a moated castle by 1440.
The name Seldensate derives from old Dutch terms 'seldene zathe', which translates to 'special estate' or 'extraordinary country residence'.
The park and ruins remain accessible to walkers, with the restored gateway currently serving as a meeting and workspace facility.
The property includes an ice cellar from the original brewery and maintains its historic moat surrounding the former castle foundations.
