Kasteel Heumen, Medieval castle ruins in Heumen, Netherlands.
The foundations and moat of this former fortress remain visible on the grounds near the Maas River, marking its strategic riverside position.
Originally built in 1188, the castle underwent multiple transformations until Spanish troops destroyed it in 1585 using seven heavy cannons.
The Van Groesbeek family maintained ownership of the castle for three centuries starting in 1335, establishing their influence in the region.
The archaeological site, now partially covered by highway A73, contains preserved medieval foundations accessible through guided tours.
The castle's location shifted over time due to changes in the Maas River course, suggesting it may have initially stood on an island.
