Helmond, Medieval castle in North Brabant, Netherlands
The castle of Helmond stands along the Aa River and Zuid-Willems Canal, featuring stone walls, towers, and a protective moat around its perimeter.
Helmond received town privileges in 1232 from Henry I of Brabant, establishing itself as a textile manufacturing center during the following centuries.
The former textile factories now house art galleries, museums, and cultural spaces, displaying collections that document the industrial heritage of North Brabant.
The city maintains three railway stations - Helmond Central, Helmond Brouwhuis, and Helmond Brandevoort - connecting travelers to Amsterdam and regional destinations.
The Speelhuisplein district contains experimental cube houses, tilted at 45-degree angles, demonstrating Dutch architectural innovation in urban housing design.
