Kasteel Heemstede, Baroque castle in Houten, Netherlands.
The castle features four corner towers integrated into the main structure, displaying strict symmetry in its Dutch Baroque architectural design.
Built in 1645 by Hendrick de Pieck van Wolfsweerd, the castle replaced an earlier medieval fortress located 500 meters to the south.
The castle grounds included formal gardens with fountains and meticulously trimmed hedges, reflecting 17th-century Dutch garden design principles.
The castle houses a Michelin-starred restaurant in its basement and serves as an office space for a real estate company.
Documents discovered in 1910 in the castle's attic included the founding charter of New York City from Dutch East India Company records.
