Kastell Holten, Medieval castle in Holten district, Oberhausen, Germany
The east wing of Kastell Holten stands as a remnant of a water castle protected by swamps on three sides during medieval times.
Count Engelbert II of the Mark constructed Kastell Holten in 1307 as a defense structure against the territory of the County of Cleves.
The castle now functions as a clubhouse for the Bürgerschützengilde Holten of 1308, maintaining centuries of local shooting guild traditions.
Visitors can reach the castle at Kastellstraße 56 in Oberhausen via public transportation, with the nearest stop being Holten Markt.
Spanish troops occupied the castle between 1586 and 1598 during the Eighty Years' War, followed by multiple military occupations through centuries.
