Ruïne Toutenburg, Medieval castle ruins in Vollenhove, Netherlands

The remains of Toutenburg Castle include two round brick gate towers, vaults for cannons, and remnants of a walkway over a rectangular moated area.

Georg Schenk commissioned the construction of Toutenburg Castle between 1524 and 1552, serving as a strategic fortification during the reign of Charles V.

A scale model of the original castle structure and numerous artifacts, including architectural elements and pottery, are displayed at the Cultuur Historisch Centrum.

The castle ruins are accessible through Laan van Toutenburgh 1 and open to visitors during special events like Open Monumentendag.

The castle materials were repurposed at the end of the 18th century to expand the Old Ruitenborgh castle after the Sloet family acquired the property.
